About the Unique World of Star Wars age 9
In July 2009 I started to put it all online–bit by bit. Namely: all of the Star Wars comic I drew (drawed?) between 1977 and c.1983. Making it a 21st Century WebComic; and over 4 decades old. It’s a Resurrection! It got some fans and some nice reviews> online. It was even given a full page in Spain’s leading cinema magazine>!

The Spark!
What’s that insignia on Darth Vador’s arm? Is he a biker?
My parents seem to have saved much of it enroute to the bin! This was a joyful discovery in mid-2009 when my dad handed me a bag of old drawings that he’d kept up in his wardrobe. Since then, their attic has revealed more: crumpled, partially eaten by silverfish and worse – covered in bird droppings.
Other Finds
The Irish Village where nothing happened where it all happened
Hundreds more drawings unearthed in archaeological digs in mum and dad’s attic. Mostly of Star Wars including the very first ones that I dashed onto paper, on the sitting room floor, the minute I got home from the cinema having seen it for the first time.
It’s funny to see the details I vividly remembered and others that I had to invent. It was all a bit visually overwhelming for a 9 year old I suppose!
