From 1983: Another one from the Random Scans file... RETURN OF THE JEDI POSTER MAGAZINE ISSUE 3, published to coincide with the movie's initial release.
I picked this up recently in the CINEMA STORE's going-out-of-business sale.
Thank you! That is COMPLEATLY by coincidence as I never look at the STAR WARS website. Great minds think alike me thinks.
The Poster magazine is in the same style of a glossy tabloid one-shot that appeared at the same time. I had a copy in 1983 and recently purchased it again from a dealer. It's a great photographic reference to the movie. I will add it to STARLOGGED eventually.
I acquired this years ago from a basement store called OFFWORLD back in the 90's. Its long gone since but at the time , they had a great ( if pricey ) range of star wars stuff. The resurgence of interest in the saga had sent the value of the original marvel comics through the roof and this store was charging 10 pounds for a single issue !
again by a nice co-incidence, the star wars site recently had an article on this very mag :

It always pays to ' trawl ' such sites just as we ' trawl ' the stores. I make a point of it as it always yields dividends.
ReplyDeleteIs this the ' one-shot ' you are referring to ?
