Star Wars #24 – Newsstand Edition (1979 Marvel)
In “Silent Drifting,” Obi-Wan Kenobi takes center stage in a self-contained flashback story. Before becoming a hermit on Tatooine, Kenobi mediates a deadly dispute between rival space merchants — a tale that reveals his calm wisdom and deadly precision as a Jedi Knight long before the fall of the Republic.
Part of Marvel’s original Star Wars comic series, Star Wars #24 (1979) continues the adventures of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia in the period between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. This newsstand edition features the traditional barcode on the cover — a distinguishing feature for collectors who prioritize authentic retail variants from the Bronze Age era.
