Although the full Mad Magazine parody version of Star Wars appeared in issue 196 (January 1978, and re-printed in 1997), that publication continued to “re-zing” A New Hope in issue 197 as well. This is one of my oldest surviving Mad Magazines, which I tended to only collect if they contained content relating to movies or television series I was particularly familiar with – it includes “A Mad Look at Star Wars”, by Sergio Aragonés. Aragonés later went on to illustrate an entire comic of Star Wars material for Marvel Comics, entitled “Sergio Aragonés Stomps Star Wars”.

Mad magazine has parodies each of the Star Wars films since A New Hope in ’77, with a lot of additional content along the way (such as plenty of Sergio Aragones strips). This 1997 Australian edition collects the Original Trilogy content together in to one “spectacular” issue. The equivalent North America edition actually came out in 1996.
