Retro Topps

Star Wars Galaxy Magazine

Topps published Star Wars Galaxy Magazine quarterly from October 1994 to November 1997.  Inside fans can find the latest news, interviews, and information about upcoming merchandise.  Due to the magazine's emphasis on collectible merchandise including toys, trading cards, and comics, it ended with the 13th issue and was succeeded by the more appropriately titled Star Wars Galaxy Collector.  Every issue contains a 8 page comic strip from Dark Horse.

The first issue contains a 8 page comic strip Droids - Artoo's Day Out.  This strip is collected in the Droids - The Kalarba Adventures trade paperback.
