Star Wars Comics 1977 Value?

Quick question: I have Star Wars number 2 the 30 and 35 cent versions and a bunch others... I read your article about the 35c variant being worth much more but after looking on Ebay I say them for around 6 to 7 bucks... totally confused.

Any help is welcome!

Editor's reply: Hi Jeff, thanks for writing. When the Star Wars comics were first published, there was a limited variation in the original price (then 30c) for issues #1 - #4.

Each was distributed in a small geographical region. It's estimated that 1,500 in total of Star Wars #1 was issued with 35c in a SQUARE BOX. The numbers for #2 to #4 are thought to be a little higher, but not more than 3,000 copies.

The cheap ones on eBay are the reprints, re-issued later at the (by then) regular cover price of 35c in a DIAMOND. You may also see the word REPRINT down the top left hand side of the price area.

Hope this clears up your confusion. I've attached photos to illustrate.

starstarstarstarstar 		VARIANT #10s
by: Anonymous Toledo Born

I was born in Toledo Ohio.
I was 13 years old and bought star wars variant.
I have 3 complete sets of 1-5. Also 2 more sets missing 4 and 5. Yes 4 and 5 were very hard to get . I went all over on my bike checking for 4 and 5 to complete my 4th and 5th set. So there was 5 in the set. I have 3 sets that I wrapped up in saran wrap. Never opened the pages. A perfect 10. I wonder how much they are worth?

Thanks for writing to https://www.sellmycomicbooks.com/

There are so many versions of early Star Wars books that we have created an article to identify the valuable ones.

A detailed article on how to identify your editions can be found here:

If you have any of the 35c variants WITH barcode at bottom left, then please get back in touch.

Books WITHOUT a bar code were sold in poly bags for 3@99c and are reprints.
