Abstract
--------
The Star Wars Comics Checklist is a guide to Star Wars comics,
reprints, and parodies published in English. In addition to
comics, you will find references to publications with related
material, such as articles on Star Wars comics.
Part Two is the Marvel Comics Star Wars Archive, posted with the
permission of Jack Camden. Jack has written a fine guide to the
Marvel era of Star Wars comics, providing synopses and
commentary on each issue. I hope to do the same for the Dark
Horse era sometime this millenium, unless someone else has done
it. Anybody?
In Parts One, Three and Four, the names of writers and artists,
if known, are indicated by abbreviations (w:Writer a:Artist
c:Cover artist p:Penciller i:Inker). My apologies to colorists
and letterers, whose names are not included. I hope to add them
to a future version of the checklist.
