"Death Probe," script by Archie Goodwin, pencils by Carmine Infantino, inks by Gene Day (pages 1-21, 28-30) and Chic Stone (pages 22-27); The Rebels encounter a prototype of a new probe droid that is as deadly as any fighter! 36 pgs., full color. Cover price $0.50. Star Wars #45 (Marvel, 1981) CGC NM/MT 9.8 White pages. Larry Hama and Al Milgrom cover. Carmine Infantino and Chic Stone art. Overstreet 2021 NM- 9.2 value = $12. CGC census 3/22: 48 in 9.8, none higher." I mean, that is a dream team on the creative side for this book. Look at those names! And anything featuring the probe droid front and center is always going to have my attention. This is still when this book was decent; after I would say issue #55, things start to do downhill for a good while. With that creative team, it would have been good no matter what.
