Spotted Online – Famous Monsters Star Wars Spectacular from 1977

Star Wars and magazine special issues are a tradition that goes all of the way back to the film’s original release in 1977. Not surprisingly, the success of Star Wars in theaters led to as many different tie-ins as people could devise, and that even includes Warren Publishing and their Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine. Warren produced the Famous Monsters Star Wars Spectacular in 1977, and today we can all enjoy this 50-page publication that’s shared at archive.org.

I’ve shared the contents page, below, so you can get some idea of what’s in the magazine without clicking the link, but if you’ve got the time today I recommend clicking over to archive.org because this is a work of joy from a far more innocent time.
