Star Wars: Marvel vs Manga

Star Wars

Pablo Hidalgo of StarWars.com has written a great piece comparing (admittedly a bit unfairly) the original 1970′s Marvel Comics adaptation of Star Wars and the more recent Manga version. It’s an insightful look at pacing, storytelling, dramatic emphasis, and much more. Read it here.

    Although I’m not the hugest fan of more cartoon style manga, there’s a really impressive energy in the images, and the pacing is superb. Thanks for the link Adam!

    Is it possible to agree with all of the points the article makes and still have a preference for the 70s version? I grew up with the older version, and, for me, it has an elegance all of its own. It has something good about it that the manga version lacks.

    I think comparisons like these are a little like comparing apples to steak, different people can reasonably disagree in matters of taste and opinion.
