c.1982/83 | age 14? Yet more of the better quality stuff for you, readers (sorry—but you get the lot). Just try to imagine you’re reading a regular comic? I love this part of the film. Suspense! action! potential peril! snappy[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ho hum, there are no laughs in this one; and this Luke meeting Leia scene is getting a bit drawn-out. He does utter the immortal—and corny “I’m here to rescue you” line, but I bet I never once thought of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
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…
