Aimed at youth culture, Pizzazz mostly contained articles about popular movies, rock stars, et cetera, as well as comic strips and puzzles.
Topics mentioned in the magazine included (but were not limited to): The 1977 installments of the serialized Star Wars comic featured in Pizzazz are the first original Star Wars stories not directly adapted from the films to appear in print form, preceding both the original stories in Marvel's Star Wars comic series and the 1978 novel Splinter of the Mind's Eye.
[3] The first story arc, titled "The Keeper's World", was by Roy Thomas, Howard Chaykin, and Tony DeZuniga.
The second story arc, entitled "The Kingdom of Ice", was by Archie Goodwin, Walt Simonson, Klaus Janson, Dave Cockrum, and John Tartaglione.
These two chapters were printed, along with the rest of the story, by Marvel UK in their Star Wars Weekly comic, appearing in issue #60 in April 1979.
