 A guide to Star Wars children's
comics. |
|
|
Star Wars comic stories have been around since
the first film, A New Hope, was released in 1977. Back then,
Marvel Comics and the Los Angeles Times produced comic stories up to
1986. In 1991 Dark Horse Comics took over with their first comic
story Dark Empire,
since then Dark Horse Comics have produced over 600 individual comic
books (equating to some 100+ stories). While fiction books can be
targeted towards a specific age group, the modern Star Wars comic
story (those produced after 1991), are marketed towards older
audiences including adults, but all comic stories must maintain Star
Wars' standards for content: no gratuitous violence and no explicit
sex. Also in most cases a comic's themes can be understood by
younger readers as they are themes expressed in the films: themes of
right and wrong, good versus evil, redemption, journey of discovery,
etc. More importantly is how younger readers can relate to the
primary characters in many comics, especially if those characters
are from the films or a television series, and so many comic stories
contain such characters, thus the most popular comic stories amongst
children are those that feature Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker,
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Padmé Amidala, Princess Leia, Han
Solo, Ahsoka Tano et al. This guide will therefore favour comic
stories that prominently feature one or more recognisable film
or TV characters.
