c.1982/83 | age 14/15? Impulsive Luke gets a little cooked and his stickers fall off. Gnat vs Elephant Pretty awesome page from around 1982 or ’83 even if I do say so myself. And look, the stickers are even peeling[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.1983? | age 15? It’s actually getting kind of exciting now, isn’t it? Luke saves Biggs’ life in this one. Or at least, extends it by a few more minutes. Art Notes Clearly, I was enjoying drawing these scenes too.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
c.1982/1983? | age 14/15? Today’s page was drawn at two different times, in biro, and then later in black marker. I’ll talk a bit about actor Denis Lawson (as Wedge Antilles) but also the unfortunate Jek Tono Porkins character (by[…]↓ 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…
