Pizzazz was a magazine published by Marvel Comics from 1977 to 1979, for a total run of 16 issues. Aimed at the youth culture, Pizzazz mostly contained articles about popular movies, rock stars, et cetera, as well as comic strips and puzzles. Recurring features included a comic about Amy Carter's life as the President's daughter, a serialized Star Wars comic, and a one-page comic by Harvey Kurtzman (usually from the 1940s) on the last page. The covers showed either photos of popular celebrities, or photo-realistic drawings of celebrities and/or Marvel superheroes.[1]
Topics mentioned in the magazine included (but weren't limited to):
- The original Star Wars movie
- Grease
- Meat Loaf
- The movie Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
- Battlestar Galactica
- Superman: The Movie
The early installments of the serialized Star Wars comic featured in Pizzazz have the distinction of being the first original (i.e., not directly adapted from the films) Star Wars material to appear in print form,[2] preceding the 1978 novel Splinter of the Mind's Eye by several months.
