Description

⭐ The galaxy’s first comic, brought to Chicago — Tyler Kirkham’s C2E2 2025 exclusive for the Facsimile Edition of the Marvel Star Wars that started it all. Marvel Comics Star Wars #1 (1977) is one of the most consequential comics in history — Roy Thomas’s adaptation of George Lucas’s screenplay, penciled by Howard Chaykin, published months before the film’s release and selling in numbers that revitalized Marvel’s publishing fortunes. The Facsimile Edition brings that landmark issue back for modern collectors, and Tyler Kirkham’s Unknown Comics C2E2 2025 exclusive cover gives this history-making reprint a Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo convention-specific presentation. C2E2 has established itself as one of the premier Midwest comics conventions, and the 2025 Star Wars #1 Facsimile exclusive at C2E2 represents the convergence of one of the most significant comics in history with one of 2025’s most important Midwest convention exclusive programs.

This is the Star Wars #1 Facsimile Tyler Kirkham C2E2 2025 Exclusive Variant — the Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo 2025 exclusive for the Facsimile Edition of the 1977 Marvel Star Wars that launched the franchise in comics form.

🎨 What Makes This Variant Special

The C2E2 2025 exclusive for Star Wars #1 Facsimile connects the Chicago convention moment to one of the most historically significant comics in the medium — a convention exclusive for an issue that helped save Marvel’s publishing operation in 1977 and launched a pop culture franchise that continues five decades later. Tyler Kirkham’s cover work on Star Wars subjects carries the dynamic energy and technical precision that makes his exclusives among the most collected in any given program. ⭐ The companion piece to the Star Wars Celebration 2025 virgin exclusive, the C2E2 2025 standard exclusive gives collectors the Chicago convention complement to the official Star Wars convention version of this Kirkham program.

📖 Original Issue Context

Marvel Comics Star Wars #1 (1977) — the Thomas/Chaykin adaptation of A New Hope — was one of the best-selling comics of the 1970s, a publishing phenomenon that predated the film’s mainstream breakthrough and established comics as a legitimate medium for science fiction franchise storytelling.
