A heads-up to those interested in Star Wars comics history from the very beginning...

I've gotten a sneak peek at an article Star Wars comics fans will definitely be interested -- check out Alter Ego #68, going on sale in comics shops today from Two Morrows. Roy Thomas, editor of the magazine, provides a multi-page retrospective of how he helped bring the movie adaptation to Marvel's attention back in 1976.

If you've seen bits and pieces of this story before, you'll find lots of photos and new material here -- and if you haven't, it's an invaluable part of your comics education. Check it out!
