The Good, The Bad and Something About Comics: "Star Wars" (1977) #1


              + Positive                                         - Negative

  • Good coloring
  • Poetic language fits the story
  • Loose adaptation of “A New Hope” leaves room for some interesting scenes
  • Some interesting new characters
  • Art is close to the movies, but Luke is drawn too overly masculine (he looks like He-Man)
  • Too much focus on text and dialogue contains the rest of the comic
  • Dialogues are occasionally too close to the original

It's everything you love and hate about 70's comics, but definitely better than Marvel's recent The Force Awakens adaptation.


6/10
