Comics Section Updated

Today I have updated the Comics Section with the Marvel Regular Edition Star Wars #1. Star Wars #1 is the first issue of the Marvel Star Wars series of comic books. It closely follows the opening events of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. 

Imperial Forces led by Darth Vader capture Princess Leia Organa's ship, which is on a mission for the Rebel Alliance. Two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, manage to escape from the Rebel ship with data critical to the Princess' cause. After arriving on the nearby planet Tatooine, the droids are acquired by young moisture farmer Luke Skywalker and his uncle Owen Lars to work at their farm. Luke finds part of an urgent message from Leia to Obi-Wan Kenobi in R2's memory. R2 escapes from the farm with the intention of finding Kenobi on his own; Luke, fearing punishment from his uncle for losing the droid, pursues R2 to the Jundland Wastes, only to be attacked by a band of ferocious Sand People. It can be found in the Marvel Comics Section. Enjoy!
