I'm a Diversion?

"Remember, we (X-Wings) are to divert the defences from the Y-Wings - who are making the attack" (Blue Leader?)

So Han was right. It is a suicide mission. Do you think when Luke spent all those years on the farm, dreaming of being a famous rockstarpilot and saving the Galaxy; he pictured himself - basically - flying about for a few minutes with a big red sign on the side of his ship reading

"HEY! OVER HERE - SHOOT AT ME!"

?

No, I don't think so either.

Art Notes

I'm 43 now and if I did that first panel today I'd be pretty happy with it. Though I think the linework would be in a different style. I did that when I was around 15 or so - I think. There was no doubt in my mind at this point: I was going to be a comic artist. It's so good that it makes me wonder if I copied it from something else! There's a real maturity about it and I don't just mean technically. The perspective is good but it has a serious, real-life feel to it. Quite cinematic.
