Oh Jaxxon, where have you been all these years? Let's hope his return is for more than just a variant cover. Jaxxon first appeared in the Marvel STAR WARS comic back in 1978.

Only available at Star Wars #1 Launch Parties, don’t miss your chance to get your hands on this one-of-a-kind variant cover to one of the biggest issues of the year!

“We couldn’t be happier to have Star Wars comics back at Marvel,” says Marvel SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel. “Star Wars has always been an important part of Marvel’s history and we knew we wanted to honor that legacy with a callback to the original Marvel ComicsStar Wars series. We think old and new fans alike will be just as excited as we are to see Jaxxon, even if it’s only for this fun variant cover.”

From the star studded creative team of writer Jason Aaron, artist John Cassaday and colorist Laura Martin comes a brand-new series spotlighting beloved characters from the original trilogy.

I came here to say this

Actually, Jaxxon predates Bucky by a few years. From all interviews, though, they were both created independently of each other. Just one of those weird little things that happens in life. heh

To be honest, this was the one thing that I was really hoping would happen when I learned Marvel would be taking back the Star Wars license.

I wish. I would love a crossover between the two.

@ostyo: Character from the original Marvel series that first appeared in 1978. He's kind like Bugs Bunny and Star-Lord fused into one.
