Retro Dark Horse: Star Wars Fan Club 2010







Star Wars had a fan club as far back as 1978, the year after the first
movie was released. The fan club offered a yearly subscription to a
Star Wars periodical and a membership kit. From 1978 to 1986, the
periodical was called Bantha Tracks. In 1987 Bantha Tracks transformed
into the Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine. In 1994 the Lucasfilm Fan Club
Magazine was renamed to the Star Wars Insider which has been the name of
the magazine to this day. Over the years, the membership kits included
items like patches, stickers, posters, pencils, and other Star Wars
branded merchandise. The name of the official Star Wars fan club from
2004 - 2010 was called the Hyperspace Fan Club. The last year of the
Hyperspace Fan Club had a membership kit that included a Dark Horse
comic that reprints the Thank the Maker story from Star Wars Tales #6.





Star Wars Fan Club 2010 - Dark Horse Comics, U.S. (2010)

Thank the Maker is one of the more memorable stories from the
Star Wars Tales anthology title. In this story, which fits seamlessly
between scenes in the Empire Strikes Back, Dark Vader is haunted by
memories of his past life on Tatooine when he encounters the remains of
C-3PO. (Remember, C-3PO was blasted to pieces by Stormtroopers on Cloud
City.)



This comic is one of the harder to find comics published by Dark Horse. A copy sold on eBay on January 10th, 2015 for $340.]]> Fri, 18 Nov 2016 03:46:19 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6530 Fri, 18 Nov 2016 02:06:35 GMT
