Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Newspaper Strips Vol. 2

Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson created a comics strip which was better then the movies it was a throwback to the hay days of comic strips.

THIS HAS GREAT ARTWORK FROM START TO FINISH !

In the period of time between when the original Star Wars movies came out and The Empire Strikes Back came out - the quality of Star Wars product output was extremely variable to say the least.We got rubbish like 'Splinter of the Mind's Eye' and the Star Wars Holiday Special - but we also got great stuff like the double LP soundtrack and the newspaper comics.So now that Disney and Lucasfilm have almost ruined Star Wars for most of us, I wanted to purchase the Newspaper strip collections so I could recapture some of the initial enthusiasm I had all those years ago for the Star Wars universe when I read the newspaper comics after experiencing the horrific disappointments of 'Splinter in the Mind's Eye' and the Star Wars Holiday Special.And it worked!So, while I'm still horrifically disappointed by the Sequels (FYI - I was somewhat disappointed by the Prequels, and some elements of the Special Editions), and by almost all the TV shows (Mando S1 and Andor are the only ones I've enjoyed so far), re-reading the newspaper comics has rekindled my enjoyment for the version of the Star Wars Universe I had in my head before Empire came out (Empire is the only film, after Star Wars itself, that exceeded my expectations - thought ROTJ was pretty good, it's just that wookies would have been more realistic than ewoks).Anyway, my hope now is that AI will continue to improve over the next few years so that I will eventually just tell an AI the plotpoints I want changed in MY imagination's version of the Star Wars skywalker saga (which would consist of episodes 1 to 12), and then after a few iterations and edits I'll end up with the entire saga exactly match the way I think it should have gone in my imagination.Oh - you want a book review :) - here it is - the book is exactly as described and expected. Printing etc is excellent to my eyes. And as mentioned above, the real treasure for me was bringing back the sense of hope I had when I read these comics decades ago, that future Star Wars films were going to be as good as the original film.
