How Star Wars Saved Marvel Comics from Bankruptcy Did you know that without George Lucas, Marvel Comics might not exist today? In the mid-1970s, Marvel was in a financial "death spiral," facing collapsing sales and a broken distribution model. Then came a "little" sci-fi movie called Star Wars. In this issue of Still Only 35c, we go back to 1977 to explore the incredible true story of how the original Star Wars comic book adaptation saved the House of Ideas from total collapse. From Stan Lee’s initial hesitation to the "risky" deal that de-risked Marvel’s future, we’re breaking down:
The failing "Newsstand Model" that nearly killed the industry.
Why Marvel initially turned down George Lucas (twice!).
The failed adaptations of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Logan's Run.
The bizarre early Expanded Universe (including Jaxxon the Space Rabbit!).
The strict rules Lucasfilm set for Marvel's writers.
