Your Marvel collection isn't truly complete without "world of fire" and "four new adventures".
There are also many collectors who seek out THIS original release of the Empire Strikes Back adaption, for a rather unique variation. The 1st print of this comic book was released BEFORE the film was finished! The character of Yoda had been kept under tight wraps by Lucasfilm, and therefore only early production sketches had been seen by the artists. Those sketches depicted a VERY different looking Yoda, and that's the Yoda you will see in the 1st edition of this comic. In fact, it's the ONLY Marvel adaption of Empire that has the Yoda variant (the regular Marvel run and the magazine version did NOT have the Yoda variant).
Later, reprint editions of this paperback corrected the artwork. Serious collectors will certainly want a 1st edition in their collection!
