In 1980, following the success of Star
Wars (1977) and five tie-in trading card series based on the
blockbuster film, Topps released three new series of collectible bubble gum
cards to coincide with the release of The Empire Strikes Back. Now,
for the first time, all 352 cards and 88 stickers are reprinted in a single
deluxe volume. Reproducing the fronts and backs of each card, this collection
includes character profiles, story cards, movie facts, quotes, trivia, and
puzzles featuring beloved characters and scenes from The Empire Strikes
Back. Also included are four bonus trading cards, the Photo Card series,
rare promotional images, and an introduction and commentary by Gary Gerani, the
original editor of Topps’s Star Wars series.
