Mexican Domingos Alegres #1439, 1443, 1447, and 1451

When the Clásicos del Cine or Film Classics title ended with issue #315, the Spanish translation of the Marvel Star Wars issues moved to another Editorial Novaro title, Domingos Alegres or Happy Sundays.  There are nine issues of Domingos Alegres with Star Wars published from December 1981 to August 1982.  Domingos Alegres was a weekly book and Star Wars alternated with other comic titles.  The Star Wars issue was followed by a Gold Key horror issue, a Charlton Beatle Bailey issue, and a DC Warlord issue and this repeated until the title ended with issue #1457.  Every Star Wars issue in this title is in the aguila or eagle format which is a digest-sized comic although not nearly as thick.  This is the same format used for the Star Wars adaptation that appeared in Clásicos del Cine #299 - 302.

Like the first movie's adaptation, The Empire Strikes Back translation was published for Mexican readers in four issues: Domingos Alegres #1439, 1443, 1447, and 1451.
