NOTE: The Pizzazz comic strips consisted of two main story arcs, the first of which was republished by Dark Horse comics in 1997. The second story line was not finished when Pizzazz was canceled in 1978. In addition to the remainder of this second story Marvel also had several stories published in  their  weekly UK Star Wars comic that did not fit in to the monthly US format. So in 1981 the first of two pocket size books were published. It contained four short stories. The forth was War On Ice, which concluded the Pizzazz story line. The events in the Pizzazz strips overlap with those of Marvel comics issue 7.
