Modern Marvel

Star Wars Reads Free Sampler

Star Wars Reads Day started in October 2012 and has been an annual event ever since.  Begun by Lucasfilm and its publishing partners, the day is used to promote reading using Star Wars published materials.  The 6th annual Star Wars Reads Day took place in October 2017 and Marvel published a 32-page Star Wars Reads Free Sampler with previews of the following comics: Star Wars: Screaming Citadel trade paperback, Star Wars: Darth Vader - Dark Lord of the Sith volume 1: Imperial Machine trade paperback, and Star Wars: Poe Dameron volume 3: Legends Lost trade paperback.  Like all the previous Marvel preview comics, this comic was given away to promote Marvel's Star Wars line rather than provide complete stories to read.

Star Wars Reads Free Sampler a - Marvel Comics, U.S. (October 2017)
The cover has the now familiar layout with three vertical boxes containing partial cover images of the books being previewed inside.  At the top of the cover is an image of BB-8 reading a book which has been the Star Wars Reads Day logo for the past three years.
