Answer
Hi Jennifer:

The Wonder Woman comic you have was published in June 1972 and is from the original series, which started back in 1942. It is quite sought after because of the cover artist (Jeff Jones) and the type of cover (girl in bondage) and in mint condition could be worth anywhere between 40$ and 80$ and maybe more in pristine condition.

The other Star Wars books are from the first unlimited comic serie, published shortly after the first SW movie was released. They are not particularly collected but a Star Wars comic collector would pay 5-7$ a piece in nice condition again.

Before you sell them, you need to carefully assess the condition. There are many guides (including visual) on the net about how to assess a comic book.

I would recommend to sell the Wonder Woman book on eBay and the other ones to a local dealer who might be looking after those issues. Expect to get about 50% of the value from the dealer.

Hope that is useful.

Nicolas
