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…
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…
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…
073: “What a piece of junk!”
Agk! I hate these ones. I’m guessing it’s late 1981 early ’82 Chin-Dimple-Handsome ‘WE ARE BEING WHACHED” I particularly hate this drawing of Luke. Once again, it’s my impression – at the time – of what constituted handsomeness.Chin Dimple, hair[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
And Chewie meets Luke SkyWalken Ben‘s like a Samurai here isn’t he? And is Luke being played by Christopher Walken, now? («previously it was Patrick Mower) This comic has a veritable cast of thousands. Howard Chaykin’s slightly more exciting, but[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Will Ben go all Jedi on his Ass? A different version of the barroom bully steps in to harass Luke. Do you think this was before I ever even saw the comic? Art Notes This one looks even less like[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
066: “This place is a little… rough”
‘Zip – Boop, Boom – Blam’ At last – we’re in the Cantina, complete with the retrospectively named Figrin D’An and his band the Modal Nodes – playing their swingin’ brand ofJizz. I talk abot Dr.Evazan (snort!), how the crew nearly[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
052: “She’s terrifickkk!!”
This might originally have followed the « film-noir page that you saw a few days ago. What an incredibly pared-down Star Wars adaptation my ’77 original was! It must have been charming before half of it went into the bin (sob[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“Ridiculously Good Looking” I worry lately that these pages might have been drawn—gasp—when I was in 2nd or 3rd year in secondary school. Putting me at 12-14 years? Jesus, if my classmates only knew… “No seriously lads, I’m not a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
