Leia grabs Han's blaster and takes the initiative

More from c.1983. I was around 14 or 15 then, and clearly still enjoying Howard Chaykin's old 1977 adaptation for Marvel comics.

Art Notes

Another huge mouth! I must have really been getting into it and pushing things expressively.

howard chaykin's version

Howard Chaykin's Marvel Treatment, 1977

My favourite thing in this page is the 2nd panel. I love the juxtaposition of Luke's anxious screaming down the line at Threepio - against Solo, who has his back to us whilst dealing with the situation, but nonetheless defeatedly uttering

"THAT'S GREAT, JUST GREAT!"

I wonder what his facial expression is? All left to the reader's imagination!

And look, Leia takes Solo's blaster - not Luke's. Must've been Howard C's influence on me.

Thanks for reading! Care to comment?

Was Mick Jagger standing in for Mark Hamill? 8)

Also how did Leia not burn her hand on the blaster?
