Comic: Star Wars Letter Collumn

**UPDATED _LINK FIXED***
I just got this one in my email - very interesting stuff. a collection of Star Wars letters. thanks to Scott

I am going to reprint his email ....

Today I was down in my storage unit and going through a bunch of comics trying to figure out what to dump and what to keep. Recently on some sites like Crosseyed Cyclops, you put up all the Star Wars comics ever made. I downloaded them all and to my dismay all the issues to the Marvel Comics Star Wars that were available cut ALL the ads and letter columns out! Growing up and reading the letter columns was great since there was no internet back then and when you read some of the requests for stories, you have to laugh since Marvel couldn't do a whole lot. The excitement for Star Wars can be felt in the letters, especially when they revealed news of a sequel... a little movie called "The Empire Strikes Back".

I grabbed my Star Wars comics that I had from the original Marvel Comics run and I scanned all the Star-Words letter colums for the issues that I had. I saved them all at a size that you can read and enjoy! In the zip file is also a notepad file of other Star Wars Marvel Comics I had but they didn't have a letter column in them that month.

Marvel Comics STAR WARS "Star-Words" letter columns in
6, 17, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35, 47, 50, 53, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 81

STAR WARS Comics I have, but there are no letter columns in these issues...
30, 32, 34, 36, 37, 49, 51, 52, 54, 65, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 98

If anyone else has any of the missing issues, please scan them and put them up! They are great reading! Here a link for the 35 comics I havve that did have a letter column!

Thanks again to Scott for this great stuff!
Enjoy

As the person who shared all the Star Wars comics I agree that having all the letters & ads makes it special (even if it was for the Johnson Smith Co.). However, I did not scan these myself as I do not have a scanner. I merely find these in other places and share them with you.

Old piles of good sh... stuff

These are spotlighted items - not always 'old' because of when they were made but rather these are things that were posted awhile ago on this blog and have been 'archived' in the back.














I hope you enjoy the site!
