Classic Star Wars: A Long Time Ago.... #1 - 6

In 1999, Dark Horse acquired the rights to publish 3 popular comics for U.S. audiences from Italian publisher Serio Bonelli Editore: Dylan Dog, Martin Mystery, and Nathan Never.  Starting in March 1999, Dark Horse released the first issue of these series with each comic costing $4.95.  In order to promote the books, Dark Horse also shipped an incentive Classic Star Wars: A Long Time Ago.... collection to retailers for every set of 3 Bonelli comics ordered.  This promotion ran for a total of 6 months with a new issue of the Bonelli books accompanied by a new Classic Star Wars: A Long Time Ago.... collection.  Not surprisingly, the Bonelli comics only lasted until issue #6 when the promotion ended.  This promotion was the only way to receive an issue of Classic Star Wars: A Long Time Ago....
