Classic Star Wars: The Early Adventures #1 marked the debut issue within the Classic Star Wars: The Early Adventures collection. Dark Horse Comics released it to the public on August 9, 1994.
This specific Classic collection featured the Star Wars daily newspaper strip created by Russ Manning, presented in a reformatted and colorized manner.
Will Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio's search for Luke and Leia end with their dismantling on a decidedly anti-droid Gambler's World? Dark Horse presents, for the first time in color, a series of strips by the renowned Russ Manning! Rick Hoberg, who collaborated with Manning on the original strips, has expertly retouched and reformatted them. As an added bonus, Michael Allred, Star Wars enthusiast and Madman creator, has designed a classic color cover for this edition.
