Each issue contains alternating color and black/white spreads.  The color palate is extremely limited with mostly blues, reds, and greens.  Some of the color choices are strange.  For example, in issue #9, one page has Princess Leia wearing a red dress and on another page the same dress is blue.  The original material has Leia wearing the standard white dress she is seen in until the release of The Empire Strikes Back.

The lettering on the covers is very amateurish.  For example, the cover to issue #6 has the Greek word "NYXTA" which looks like it was pasted on the cover using a post it note.  The original text in that box reads: "Extra! In this issue: The Deadly Mission of Luke Skywalker!"  It appears the Greek translation says something else entirely.

The back of issue #6 has an ad for the made for TV Spider-Man movie. Was this movie released to theaters in Greece?
