I believe my Mom probably picked it up for a quarter at a rummage sale.; July 1, 2013 at 7:10 PM
Kal said...: I still have it. Found it years later in the dollar bin. I needed a new copy because I had read my old one to death...DEATH. I killed a comic because I read it so much.; July 1, 2013 at 8:29 PM
Mike D. said...: I have these...I've got about 52 treasury comics ( DC'S included ) Last year...there was an art of STAR WARS calendar that used the covers and interior art from the tabloid issues...needless to say it was awesome...I kick myself for not picking it up. The calendar was as big as the treasury editions; July 1, 2013 at 8:47 PM

Erik Johnson Illustrator said...: I have a copy of this as well. Found it in a dollar bin of a used bookstore in decent condition.

I was amused as ever to see Leia on the back cover hovering above the rest of the guys surrounded by some celestial halo like some sort of fine art Madonna figure. While that was her role at first it comes into stark contrast with her more plucky sarcastic action girl personality and the much more revealing clothing she wore by the end of the series.; July 2, 2013 at 7:13 AM
