Art Notes
Solo is back! And Chewie of course. Look at him go! He's all frenzied twisting action, working that steering wheel of his, driving around the bends on the race-track. Beep-Beep!
"Chewie - this is no time for video games!"
"GARROOO!"
I made a first attempt at Han's conk, and then opted for a bigger one instead. Oh the the good ol' green biro is back. I quite like it actually. Probably because makes it look even older.
"GARROOO!" I'm imagining a 'screech, skidding sound.
Writing: Hit the Dirt... Eh?
Why does Solo tell Chewie to hit the dirt? I suppose it's just another of those cliches from comics and films isn't it? A bit like « "I repeat!"
"Eat Lead Tojo!" Blimey - I had this when I only 6!
It's embarrassing this, and I amaze even myself at the trivial stuff that I still recall from childhood: Mum, dad and I were watching some film or other when I was a kid. And there was a bloke who was about to be shot or killed or what have you - or maybe he was just dying after being shot.
I exclaimed, "He's gonna bite the bullet."
Dad said, "Er, bite the bullet is what you do when someone is performing a painful procedure on you - you know, like sawing off your wounded leg without an anesthetic."
"Oh." (I feel silly now)
Maybe "Hit the Dirt" in this instance was supposed to mean - 'hit the trench?' Equally he could have said: "We've got you surrounded - you don't stand a chance - there's no turning back - eat lead FRITZ!"

Check out poor Mark Hamill's added-in car crash scars.
If you're reading this Mark, I hope I'm not making you feel all self-conscious. At the time I was simply attempting to add a bit of authenticity. Yes, that's right, you had your accident after the film was shot. But! - don't forget: George adapted SWa9 into a movie before I even did the comic. So you see, it's a funny old back-to-front universe.
Wormholes or something. QED.

LITTLE COMIC-EATING BASTARDS called SILVERFISH.
One old Star Wars drawing I found was literally like confetti after they'd been at it. Picked it up, and it literally fell into tiny pieces before my eyes.
They LOVE damp paper.
