c.1983? | age 14–15? Not much to laugh at today, I’m afraid! Here’s my 14 or 15 year old self acting more like a proper comic artist. I really wanted to be one, right up to art college. My flatmate[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

c.1982? | age 14? Borrrr-ring. A bit like today’s page. Better drawing—but boring. As you’ll know, if you’ve been reading these blogs, I get more of a kick and tickle out of the oldest, most poorly-drawn ones. So we’re doing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.1981?|age 12 or 13? I was trying to be a bit clever putting in the THX-1138 bit. In fact until a few years ago, I believed that this is what he said in the film. He actually says “TK-421”. My[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
097: “Who’s the more foolish?”
c.1983?|age 14/15? Panel 1 is lifted from Chaykin’s version. I don’t like Han in that one. He looks like Robert Wagner in Hart to Hart. “And togedder… dey was moider!” Wacka—wacka, chicka-wah-wah! I liked Wagner in one of the Austin Powers movies—oh[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.1983?|age 13/14? I’ve published this page on a Tuesday, readers. Not on the usual, regular Mon | Weds | Fri. Simply because this one wouldn’t have been worth the wait until Wednesday. There’s a glued-in pic from Niall F’s Star Wars[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
094: “I forgot how much I hate space-travel”
Rar! I—want—better—pages! c.1980/age 13? As Solo said: “It’s not wise to upset a Wookiee”, and I empathise with Chewie’s frustration, readers. Search your feelings, you know it to be true! Yep, this scene’s draaaaawing-out a bit and this page offers slim pickings. Well,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
That’s no moon, it’s a giant green tennis ball. And I actually wrote “HOLYSHI- – -“? Well, I must have been growing up when I did this page, and feeling a bit more confident at home around my mum and dad! I still remember describing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My Arm – My Arm! How the heck did I come to draw Solos body so badly? Especially considering that I seem to have been getting quite good at drawing at this stage, at around 13 or 14 years old. And I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Who needs speeches? Not SWa9 it seems. Han Solo loses all of his great lines in this page. “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster by your side kid” and “I’ve seen a lot of straaange things…” etc.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Art Notes That’s bloody thick line-work! It seems that someone got a new black marker. This looks like it was done in 1982 or so, when I was around 13 or 14. The action and drawing is definitely more advanced. Though for your purposes,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
