Amazon.com Review
This is the second volume of Star Wars newspaper strips from the early 1980s reformatted for the comic book page. The stories, which take place between the end of Star Wars, the movie, and the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, feel natural instead of forced like so many of the other Star Wars spin-off books. After the events in the previous volume, Luke, Han, and Leia find their rebel base under attack. And so the search for a new home base begins.

Get it before it goes out of print!
The Star Wars comic strip never ran in my hometown paper so I rarely got to see it. I was spurred to get this collection by a recent magazine article, and it was well worth it because these are very enjoyable Star Wars tales. Putting aside any questions of how these stories might fit into "the cannon", the Star Wars geek in me quite enjoyed the depiction of how the rebels identified Hoth as their new base planet as well as an early meeting with Admiral Ackbar. More impressive, though, was a story in which Darth Vader engages an actor to impersonate Obi-Wan Kenobi, with unexpected results. Star Wars spin-offs are a hit and miss proposition, but this book definitely falls into the former category.

Our heroes are busy battling Monsterous creatures.
This is a review of classic Star Wars Volume 2 - the rebel storm. This is the continuing collection of newspaper comic strips produced in the early 1980s published July, 1995 and printed in Canada.

Vader is alive and Han is not in carbonite, so this is the continuing story of our heros during the period of episode 4 thru 6. The stories are fun to read and the artwork is slightly better than the typical comic strip. Our heroes are busy battling Monsterous creatures much more than batling the empire. Ben and Vader make appearances.

The inking and binding are excellent but this is not up to the standards that exist today, hence the 3 star rating.

Unlike some of the early SW work, these stories DO fit in with the Expanded Universe that fits around the movies. Recommended.

Decent Star Wars addition
This book is the second part in a series of collections which brings back all those classic Star Wars comics. Although it is nice to have all these hard to find classics available again, the stories and art just don't match up with whats being produced today. For great Star Wars comics, check out the Rogue Squadron books also being distributed in paperback form by Dark Horse.
