Hmmm… ‘don’t recall that bit This is a bit of a 1977 curio! I was so pleased to discover this page separately from the rest of the comic. An unexpected pleasure. Pretty funny, but it also seems as if it was[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Bravery-Bypass Circuits One of the nice things about reading this comic is that it makes the actual film feel fresh and new again. Not because this one looks old and crappy and smells of damp (it does) – but rather,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sandcrawler M1-+ More jargon for you Star Wars buffs! I bet you didn’t know that the Jawas’ sandcrawler was a model ‘Em one minus plus’? Did you eh – eh? Thought you knew everything. Yes, it’s WELL KNOWN amongst well-read Star[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“WZ•ys†” (or words to that effect) As they used to say in Marvel comics – there will be a great big no-prize to whoever can guess what that means. We’re getting inside the sandcrawler, with it’s slightly Giger-esque chute. Art[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
SFTPaS-SFX And with a Karate cry – Artoo gets zapped by a Jawa! More patented «Smudged-Felt-Tip-Pen-and-Spit SFX, and the judicial use of stuck-in «collectible bubble gum cards.

Art Notes: Spider-Sense Jawas! Well, I’m smiling again now. Sorry to be self-centred but this page brings back all sorts of memories as it’s another one of the earliest ones. Funnily enough there’s no real build up in the drama.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s page is a goody! We see the Jawas at last. And it’s another of those “what if George had taken this approach?” sort of affairs. We get to see what actually happened to poor whinging pain-in-the-arse Threepio after he[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Crikey! Was I was really avoiding doing any drawing at all on this one? I think I just had the clippings of Threepio and wanted to use them. Including a Star Wars bubble-gum trading card. It’s a cross between a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Goodness me. Artoo—a droid sheds a tear! And this, from the child who—a couple of years earlier—gave us the horror of the «shredded Rebel soldier? You see: slasher films and comics do not (necessarily) a psycho make. I’m quite impressed with the sense[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
