At long last, the diminutive yet formidable warriors featured in the blockbuster film "The Return of the Jedi," [sic] the Ewoks, now headline their own comic book series! This initial adventure could spell doom for Princess Kneesaa, as she finds herself poisoned! Wicket must brave unprecedented perils to rescue her! This is "The Rainbow Bridge!" authored by David Manak, with pencils by Warren Kremer and inks by Marie Severin.
The creation of Ewoks 1 involved writing by David Manak, pencil work by Warren Kremer, inking by Marie Severin, and publication under the Star Comics banner, a subsidiary of Marvel Comics.
