The Blockade Runner

As I continue to read through a recently purchased lot of 90s Star Wars magazines, I can’t help but share some of the weird/cool/ridiculous stuff I come across. Issue 9 of Galaxy has a big Shadows of the Empire focus, which is not terribly surprising considering the time of its publication (Fall 1996).

I recently purchased a lot of random Star Wars magazines, and included were a few issues of Galaxy, a magazine that was totally new to me. Published by Topps (the trading card company), Galaxy came in at the tail end of the 90s comic book boom, and ran for 13 issues from 1994 to 1997. The magazine differentiates itself from Insider by having less of a focus on the films and more on the EU and collecting.
