SW alta v.6
This was an interesting volume because it takes place after Return of the Jedi so the Marvel writers finally had true creative freedom to take the story wherever they wanted.

Star Wars Legends Project #300 Background: Wookiee World, released in May 2003, collects issues #82-95 of the original Marvel run of Star Wars comics (originally published from January 1984 to February 1985). Mary Jo Duffy continues as the regular writer for 10 of these 14 issues. There are single issues guest-written by Linda Grant, Roy Richardson, Randy Stradley, and Ann Nocenti. Bob McLeod drew the largest number of issues in this collection, with 5. Cynthia Martin drew 2 issues. The rest
