Vintage Star Wars Comic ads...

Dublinjeff · May 20, 2016

Looking for anyones help or knowledge on this....I'm wondering does anyone know what Comic titles ran the vintage Star Wars ads.
The one below was found in a 'Roy of the Rovers' comic so obviously they had some in the early 80's.
I think i found some before in the 'Battle' comic.

Were there early SW ads in other UK titles like 'Warlord' 'Victor' etc in the late 70's early 80's ...Appreciate any help.

I think a fair few of the DC Thompson and Marvel UK titles carried these ads. They certainly appeared in Marvel's 'Doctor Who Monthly'. I found this link which adds a few other titles to the list.

Thanks for that,

I guess I should have asked aswell does anyone know specifically if the 'Warlord' comic had ads in the 70's and 80's?

I acquired a large amount of scans of the UK SW comic. As I am going through them, I'm copying any SW related ads. I'll put it together as a makeshift e-comic and share it when I'm done. It'll be full of British goodness from Palitoy to Helix.

Does anyone else collect scans of the comics? I've found everything up to 1983 but would love the rest if anyone has such things.

Must keep an eye out for the Tiger comics so!

I find loads in DC comics from the 70s and 80s. I've found at least 10 different ads in Superman and they seem to pop up quite a lot.
