Recently I purchased Droids #7 & 8 (from the Star/Marvel Comics series; this completes my collection) and Ewoks #10 from a seller on eBay. Today these items arrived.

Along with them came what I thought was just packaging. I almost throw it out, thinking it was old newspaper. Well, to an extent, that's exactly what it is. It happens to be a complete copy of #1 of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Newspaper, the issue is simply entitled "Star Wars". Although it does have other articles on Sci-Fi Spacecrafs and "Star Trek", the bulk of the issue is "Star Wars".

The fanzine has illustrations of the Mos Eisley cantina creatures as well as blueprints of C-3PO and R2-D2 and an article on the spaceships of "Star Wars".

It's not in mint condition, but it is 31 yeas old. There are also articles on Jawas, Wookiees, and Sandpeople that I am sure will be a treat to read.

I was surprised that the seller sent this item as a bonus, since I have seen it priced at $25 by itself in antique and collectible shops. I feel like I was given a piece of "Star Wars" fandom history.
