1978 | age 9-10 Today we’re still in early 1978. And we get another of my favourites! This is when Star Wars really takes off for me, when Solo shows his true colours and refuses to get involved in any rescue[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
(early-mid 1978 | 9-10 yrs old) Savour this page reader… savourrrr. Ok, never mind. I will for you. These ones are always my favourites. And get this! Chewie’s doing his 1970s Kung-Fu moves! Art Notes This has got to be early to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
1978 | age 9–10 Hurrah! It’s an oldie. A second-pass adaptation page, with Chewie in action. And I’m still digging these incomplete sentences. The comic sure wouldn’t be same without them if. “You need a trailing dot—dot—dot dammit!” I sense[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.Early 1978/age 9 or 10 The Millennium Falcon goes in arse-first. Now this is more like it, readers! It’s one of my favourite pages of the whole book. I love it because of: “C’mon you creeps!” “Yeah, we’ve captured a ship!”[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Wookie’s certainly gracious in Victory isn’t he? (if only there was a text-format for sarcasm) Pffft…. I bet he dives in the Penalty Area too. “I suggest a –– new stragedy (sic) Artoo let the wookiee win.” –Star Wars age 9 We’ve[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A nice find! I like these panels. So I’m very pleased to have rediscovered them in the attic. They must have been cast-offs, rejects. Otherwise they wouldn’t have ended up in this state. See the edges of the paper? They’re[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Let’s play a game of Dejarik! Oh… wait, maybe not. Maybe let’s not play a game. Not with him anyway. God… SPELLING! “G A R R O ! R” Yes, that’s right: s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g! And even if youre was the right word to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
