December 1992

28ppg

Writer: Archie Goodwin
Artist: Al Williamson

Listed below is a comparison of the Classic Star Wars issue to the actual daily comic strip panels. This index goes page by page, indicating for each panel in the comic book, the date and panel it originally appeared. Panels marked by an asterisk (*) indicate that an edit was performed on that panel in translation into the comics medium. Edits in which the panel was cropped or expanded with new art are not noted, rather the changes focused on included dialog, modifications or rewrites.

There is also a column that indicates the total number of panels in the original strip, allowing viewers to see that certain duplicate panels have been removed. Some edits and panel placement include a note to indicate what strange alterations were made in the presentation.
