Dark Horse Comics presents the latest volume of Star Wars: A Long Time Ago... featuring classic Star Wars stories not seen in over twenty years! Originally printed by Marvel Comics, these stories have been meticulously re-colored and are sure to please both new and old Star Wars fans. Fool's Bounty collects issues 68 to 81 of the original Marvel run, along with Star Wars Annual #3. Most of these stories take place after The Empire Strikes Back, as Han Solo's friends continue to search for their lost scoundrel, and this volume ends with Marvel's first story set in the Return of the Jedi era -- "Jawas of Doom." Lando Calrissian is hilariously disguised in "The Big Con," a captured Princess Leia must escape torment in "Death In The City Of Bone," and C-3PO gets his mechanical heart broken in "Ellie." Also highlighted are several rare Star Wars pinups, and an introduction by James Kochalka!

Fool's Bounty
It seems like it’s taking longer to get from Empire to Jedi than it did to get from New Hope to Empire in terms of the number of issues. Also, buyer beware- the adaptation of Jedi is not included in this book so you’ll have to find it used if you want to have the entire original Marvel run. (I got one for $1.99 on ebay in pretty good condition for a library book) Yes- I know it was a limited edition series, but it’s still a vital chapter in the lore of Star Wars.
