Pizzazz 1 represents the inaugural issue of the monthly magazine, published by Marvel Comics, that delved into popular culture. With a cover date of October 1977, this issue marked the beginning of the Star Wars comic serialization titled The Keeper's World.
Furthermore, the issue featured an article entitled Meet the Star Wars Superstars! penned by Katy Hall. This article offered readers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the design and filming processes of R2-D2 and C-3PO for the movie A New Hope.
In addition to both The Keeper's World and Meet the Star Wars Superstars!, Pizzazz #1 showcased a Star Wars-themed cover with R2-D2 and C-3PO humorously announcing Darth Vader's arrival armed with a can opener, which they jestingly identify as his ultimate weapon. The issue also presented an advertisement and order form for both Marvel Special Edition Featuring Star Wars 1 and Marvel Special Edition Featuring Star Wars 2.
