Welcome to Long Time Ago, a journey into the Marvel Star Wars Legends Comics. Our host Angus first made the jump to hyperspace and a galaxy far far away by reading Marvel Star Wars Vol 1 Issue #9 and never looked back! Travel back to 1977 into the origins of the series and discover how comics has supported fandom and in some ways shaped the Star Wars universe.  This eighteenth episode is an announcement of our reading list and schedule for 2022 and quick review of the companion issue to our first read of the year 'The Star Wars'! We will conclude 2022 with a reading of the limited series comic book adaptation of the novel 'Splinter Of The Mind's Eye'. We hope you enjoy this latest adventure in the journey!
