A 200 page home-made comic-strip  adaptation from 1977!

This site contains all of the existing pages of the Star Wars comic I drew (drawed?) between 1977 and c.1983. Therefore making it... a WebComic. 33+ years old and resurrected!

The Spark

My parents seem to have saved much of it enroute to the bin! This was a joyful discovery in mid-2009 when my dad handed me a bag of old drawings that he'd kept up in his wardrobe. Since then, their attic has revealed more: crumpled, partially eaten by silverfish and worse - covered in bird droppings.

Other Finds

Hundreds more drawings unearthed in archaeological digs in mum and dad's attic. Mostly of Star Wars including the very first ones that I dashed onto paper, on the sitting room floor, the minute I got home from the cinema having seen it for the first time.

It's funny to see the details I vividly remembered and others that I had to invent. It was all a bit visually overwhelming for a 9 year old I suppose!
