    Correction. Ed Summer was not involved with the marketing of Star Wars A New Hope. While I realize Ed and many others would like to claim credit for assorted jobs on the spectacular success of Star Wars A New Hope, the truth of the matter is I am the man responsible for marketing Star Wars. Ed Summer was busy trying to keep his stores afloat while I worked on the marketing of Star Wars. I also worked with Marc Pevers, who was an attorney working for 20th Century Fox, licensing Star Wars merchandise. Given the number of comic book artists who have been ripped off by others appropriating their work, i.e. Roy Lictenstein, I would really hope you would give credit where credit is due.
