The article and the sample pages therein make it look like it will be an excellent read. I always thought they should have dusted off the original articles and interviews for the DVD collection (so, even if you had the packed-with-extras BBC releases already the print material would justify the double-dip) but this is even better. It looks like the first issue will be sale during, roughly, the second week of September.

That first volume is even more illusive than the second and even some of the most dedicated websites don't seem to know that it exists. Oh to stumble across a (reasonably priced) copy of that.<br /><br />It does seem weird that WILD SPACE doesn't print the pages in colour but maybe only the reformated-for-the-format panels and pages were coloured and never the original art as published in SWW (and reprinted in the better-late-than-never compilation. DH may have decided the effort of putting it all back together wasn't worthwhile (or possible). <br /><br />I will amend the text when I have time.SLOW ROBOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891511135128944714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-18532440373770849072015-08-21T12:06:14.584+01:002015-08-21T12:06:14.584+01:00its more likely it was called star wars 2 as it w...its more likely it was called star wars 2 as it was volume 2 in the marvel illustrated books series. Volume 1 printed the stories ' wookie world ' , ' day after the death star ' and ' the weapons master. ' You can see them both here:<br /><br />http://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=596131<br /><br />I'm just wondering if volume 1 actually WAS printed in colour because even those stories were reprinted in black and white in the WILD SPACE volume. <br /> edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633073283427830809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-13685506319261310932015-08-20T17:48:33.090+01:002015-08-20T17:48:33.090+01:00Thanks for these scans slow and all of the backgro...Thanks for these scans slow and all of the background info. I've never seen that back cover. <br /><br />I kind of like the fact there was only one core title back then whereas now the franchise is in danger of over saturation with even darth vader getting his own ongoing series. When I first read SWW back then, it never occurred to me that the strips were derived from the usa version. Its clear that many of the covers for SWW ( notably those by carmine infantino ) were created especially for the uk.<br /><br />The new issue of DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE has a lot of info on forthcoming titles. The next comic collection is titled THE EYE OF TORMENT featuring the 12th doctor. The mag also has a 2 page ad and a 4 page article on the COMPLETE HISTORY COLECTION. As the editor rightly says, this is a golden age for whovians.<br />edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633073283427830809noreply@blogger.com
