Richie Rich's comedian friend Jackie Jokers was introduced in the first issue of a comic titled after the character in March 1973. The series only lasted 4 issues but it was quickly replaced by a new series titled Richie Rich and Jackie Jokers starting in November 1973. Parodies of television shows and movies are present in several issues of this series which ended with issue #48 in December 1982. While some of the covers are pertinent to the parody story inside, unfortunately that was not the case for the Star Wars parody Star Bores featured in issue #26 from April 1978. The only clue about the parody on the cover is the blurb that reads: Special! Star Bores It's outer space and out-of-sight!
