c.1978/79? | age 10/11? It’s a wibbly-wobbly, hard to read one today. It’s hard to tell when it was drawn, too. The stormtrooper, top-right looks to have been quite carefully copied from somewhere. I’m guessing it was from the Marvel[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
early 1978 | age 9 This is a part of the film with the Dianoga creature which we never saw. So much for: “I don’t know, it just let go of me and disappeared…” Nah. Borrrring. Bring on the gore![…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
early–mid 1978? | 9–10 years old Starring…Kevin Bacon! What the hell’s going on with this movie? A different actor per character in every panel? Well, I suppose being strangled by the Dianoga’s tentacles was was good preparation for his role[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
One year on! c.1982/1983? | age 14? I’m creating and publishing today’s page on the move (written in 2013?). Gabby’s in the driving seat as we head down through Ireland to Baltimore, County Cork. Amazing to think that I was[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

early-mid 1977 | age 9 or 10 Yay! The old crappy ones again. Now we’re back to possibly very early 1978 for a bit. Isn’t Leia stunningly gorgeous in this one? *gakk* Art Notes: She’s… beautiful! Isn’t perspective on faces[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
early 1978? | 9/10 years old It’s a multi-coloured one today, readers. And with a special guest star! Name that Actor! Once again rivaling Lon Chaney Sr. as the Man of a Thousand Faces, Luke reminds me of some old[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
early 1978? | age 9/10 Cor, get a load of Princess Leia in this one—gorgeous. Or maybe not. Art Notes PANEL 1: Odd dialogue in this one but Solo’s sideways glance is pretty good. I’m surprised I could manage such[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.1977 & 1978? | age 9 & 10? This is a messy but funny looking page. But then, it’s not like… MARK HAMILL’s gonna see it. Is he? Neil Baker—reader and unpaid publicist for SWa9—used his one opportunity to Tweet[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
