From the Bookshelf: Classic Star Wars: Fool's Bounty

It took me quite a while to pick up the first four volumes Dark Horse Comics reprinted the old Marvel Star Wars comics in, but after the idea finally hit me to include them instead of more DVDs in online store orders to reach the "free shipping" level, I wound up getting the fifth volume what seems really not that long after the fourth. It brings the comics right up to and just past Return of the Jedi; however, as Marvel adapted that movie as a four-issue miniseries, it's not included...

It seems that I was getting a little better at asking for issues of the Star Wars comic when I did see them. Of the fifteen issues (one an extended-length annual) in this volume, I had read eight of them, which made the gaps to be filled smaller and the overall effect of discovering what had been in them just perhaps not quite as great this time around... although I suppose that with the previous volume, I had often wanted to at last discover how our heroes got out of the cliffhangers they had wound up in twenty-five years before; with this volume, I was tending to see how they had got into the predicaments I had discovered them in all that time ago.
