early-mid 1978 | age 9-10 This is probably one of the 2 or 3 funniest scenes in the whole film. I missed out some of the best lines though: “Well…. uh, more wealth than you can imagine!” says Luke—to which[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

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…
084: The Destruction of Alderaan
I cringe looking at this page, although (or because) it depicts Alderaan’s destruction with great emotion. Motti looks like Mr.Hyde! He also has that Warlord Comic «evil Nazi look again. There must be a couple of pages missing here. I hate to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
078: Princess Leia’s Interrogation

It’s time to bring out the Big Guns! Here’s another extra little bit that George kept from you. Do you think he too should have had Leia resisting restraint like an alley cat? “Damn it keep still! Yeow!” I’m on holiday[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Leia spits on Vader, and… exciting news just in: the English language has a new word: IMBICLE! And, check out the SPECIAL EDITION version, below! Art Notes Blimey – she’s a bit rough! Yet again, I can’t claim all the credit[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.1982? This is a much later page today, possibly c.1982, starring for once–a non-ugly Princess Leia! Also it’s just better-quality work! I reckon the graphic effect behind the Stormtrooper must have been lifted from another comic – not the Marvel version. I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
