Hello all, I collected comics 40 years ago and I recently went down memory lane and found Star Wars issue one, but it's the issue that cost 1.25. I can't seem to find the value for this comic , please help and thanks in advance

I have looked on this sites price guide and at mycomicshop.com listings for a $1.25 cover price and found none listed. My thought is that is a reprint of course which it's value is a lot lower than the 1st print 30 cent cover.
You might look at the indicia, the small publishing print inside the front cover or on the front page. It will have the date when printed, what country printed possibly and might tell you what printing it is, second, third print.
You can also look at eBay to see if you can find a cover price of the $1.25 issue you have. A $1.25 price makes me think that your book was reprinted much later than the original printing in 1977.
Now all that said, there are collectors that might find this printing valuable to own, but who knows.🤔

Also the indicia will tell you the books "real" title. Maybe you have a treasury edition book or a Star Wars collected edition.

In 1983 or 84 Marvel did a comic sized reprint that contained the first three issues of Star Wars, that I believe had a $1.25 cover price. The second issue covered the last 3 parts. It's title something 'Marvel Movie Showcase'. I'm going by memory, as I had it a long time ago, in a galazy far, far away...

Hey Hard Wurk,
Just look at the publishing details on the inside of the cover (or first few pages). It should tell you exactly the publishing date etc..
