STAR WARS #33 - March 1980


I like the effect being employed here to draw the lightsabre blade.

Luke Skywalker faces off with Baron Tagge, who was blind but had cybernetic specs ten years before Geordi on Star Trek: The Next Generation. When I was a kid, I thought Tagge was a legitimate badass. Years later, I see similarities to Elton John.

The Baron is one of the siblings of General Tagge:


Don Henderson: "Somebody in the hotel I was staying at offered me $2000 for my copy of the Star Wars script. As I growled at him in amazement, he took that as a refusal, or that he had offered too little and eventually went up to an offer of $5000! Sadly, as with all my used scripts, I had given it to my kids to scribble and draw on."

STAR WARS #29 - November 1979


I recall this panel had a big impact on me at the time. We only had the first Star Wars film to go on, and Vader showed no signs of being able to jump around like this. This was published prior to the release of The Empire Strikes Back and his impressive leap therein.
