One of the differences with Batman Adventure #12 is it is first comic book appearance with original material coinciding at the same time.

In todays first appearance driven market, some may say so.

Im not sure I agree that the comics would not exist if the film had not been made.

Take a look at the cover of Star Wars #1, says "The Greatest Space-Fantasy Film of all"

I think it is important that it be noted for a few reasons

#1 Because it is factually the 1st Comic Book Appearance (unless you can give me another answer)

#2 Because when a Non-Versed Star Wars person like me, who is a comic book collector decides he might like to pick up the first comic book appearances of these Star wars characters, he can avoid this unnecessary confusion. So when I ask which comic book issue(s)I need to obtain to fulfill this quest. There is no other answer other than Star Wars #1 & #2. weather or not it was a movie is irrelevant. Obviously if someone can steer me toward the correct Books I would choose to seek those out instead. Until then..... All roads lead to this two issues, and if they were noted accordingly I could have avoided all this unnecessary detective work.

We do not designate this as the first appearance of Boba Fett. The story was first printed in the ESB Super Special. Here is our label for #42. Our comments are carefully worded to be both relevant and accurate.

It does state it is the first appearance of Han, Chewie, Jabba, and the Millenium Falcon.
