Crash Landing (22)23/07/2010 Well, Warlord Comic would seem to have been quite an important influence on this one - more's the pity! In a corny page to end all corny comic pages we get a total Nazi-style Imperial officer; and yes, THE worst most corny line ever "Kick it hard". |
Meet Death Star Again (21)21/07/2010 Whe-heyyy! We get to gaze upon the Death Star a second time. Oh how I love these old pages. I mean, I was only 9! They really really take me right back. No need for rulers - no need to even draw around a saucer to make a circle! Plus, some news on an upcoming site feature! |
Bigguns (20)19/07/2010 A biggun', a big shiny helmet and imminent head-on collision. |
Leia, she's a bit rough (19)14/07/2010 Girls who spit, Council-House Facelifts, and massive black markers. But... Lucas beats me to it once again. Why wasn't it in the film though, eh, eh? |

The artist takes a break from hectic comic
production for a photo. By his mum (Summer '78)
Around Christmas time 1977 a nine year old budding artist (that's me) started to draw his own comic adaptation of his favourite film; just seen in the cinema, with no DVDs, books or comics to guide him (that's me again, hello!). The early results were peculiar, but it was fun and some consolation for only seeing it once. Less obsessed friends would claim "We saw it 6 times!": I yearned to see it again.
Some time later, I got my hands on the British printing of the MARVEL comic and treasured it. My drawing improved and with the comics, bubble-gum cards and the full-colour photos in the novel I began the process of drawing, re-evaluating and redrawing - casting the older pages in the bin.
So now reader, here's the very odd fruit of that 4 year effort. Rediscovered only last year. The shabby 1977 home-made comic becomes 2010 web-comic.
