All comics   Return of the Jedi

Return of the Jedi comic issues

 

Billed as an "All colour comic!", the comic strips are in colour but the pin-up pages are still in black and white which is a shame. From issue 36, there were comic art pin-ups.   

 

There were also Blade Runner strips in some issues and James Bond For Your Eyes Only comic strip.

 

The covers tend to be photos from the film and there are some good ones including Darth Vader in a Santa Claus costume in issue 28 (which we don't remember being in the film).  Some arty covers including issue 25 and 37.
