La Guerre des Etoiles

Published by French publisher Editions Lug from 1977 to 1980, La Guerre des Etoiles is a short-lived but historically significant two-issue comics adaptation that brought George Lucas's original Star Wars film to European readers. Scripted primarily by Archie Goodwin and Roy Thomas, with art by a powerhouse team including Al Williamson, Carlos Garzón, and Howard Chaykin, the series translated the blockbuster movie into a distinctly European comic format. It matters as an early, licensed international rendering of the Star Wars universe, showcasing the transatlantic collaboration that helped define the franchise's global comic presence.
