Title: Star Wars Volume 1, 1st Printing
Missing Issues: 7-10 "PIZZAZZ variants" containing PIZZAZZ multi-page insert
Country: USA
Publisher: Marvel
Publication Years: 1978
Cover Price: $0.35
Rare examples of Star Wars (1st printing, newsstand edition) issues #7, #8, #9, and #10 (Jan-Apr 1978) contained a separate, multi-page insert with a mail-in subscription offer for Marvel's PIZZAZZ magazine. As these inserts appeared in only a tiny fraction of the print run and were sold only in select markets, they are rare and more valuable than their standard counterparts.
The standard issues (without the insert) included a PIZZAZZ subscription offer that was printed on one of the pages of the comic. As a result, I've seen a number of uninformed (or unethical) sellers list standard issues for sale as "Rare PIZZAZZ Variants." This can make it difficult to track the asking/selling prices of actual PIZZAZZ variants.
Anyway, the variants are missing here. I submitted a Missing Variant Report for issue #9 with cover photo (I have one of these in my possession and can provide high-res photos), but PIZZAZZ variants should be added for all four issues, as the cover of the PIZZAZZ variant is no different from that of the standard newsstand issue.
Here are images of issue #9 with the PIZZAZZ insert:

Those would be in the same vein as "Mark Jewelers" variants.
