Where it came from
Published by Marvel Comics in 1980, Star Wars issue 36 serves as the concluding chapter of 'The Paradise Planet,' a three-part story arc written by Archie Goodwin. Released during a period of immense anticipation following the cinematic success of The Empire Strikes Back, the issue captures the comic book industry's effort to expand the narrative universe of George Lucas’s creations through original monthly storytelling.
The artwork for this period was largely driven by Carmine Infantino, whose distinct, clean-lined style helped define the visual language of Marvel's early Star Wars tenure. The cover and interior illustrations aimed to bridge the gap between the film's aesthetic and the sensibilities of classic sci-fi pulp comics. At the time of its release, the series was a critical component of Marvel’s financial resurgence, consistently performing as one of the publisher's best-selling titles.
