Edition details
Research notes and sources
Native Marvel 975×1500 digital master. Removed only the bottom 75-pixel gold LEGENDS banner, added outside the original 1977 cover artwork, yielding 975×1425. Entire 30¢ July first-edition art, title and caption boxes retained. Clean white lettering and no exterior background. Publisher digital colors rather than photographed paper. Historical April 12 on-sale date differs from Marvel’s July 1 cover-date placeholder. No artificial upscaling or recoloring. Origin cover: Luke raises a lightsaber before an ensemble of Leia, Han and Obi-Wan, with a looming green Darth Vader helmet and Death Star, starships and radial blast.
