I was never too fussed about the title strip, though it did make Luke look like less of a whiney drip than the movies, the only other thing I remember was that weird green bounty hunter rabbit dude. The backup strips were brilliant, Deathlok was a particular favourite.Timothy Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455609500395912042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-90350121524698017472017-05-29T02:40:12.516+01:002017-05-29T02:40:12.516+01:00"Makes perfect sense right..."

It was indeed confusing as to why Apeslayer and Killraven bore such a startling resemblance to each other, until I realised what they'd done and was suitably offended by their underhandedness.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-17157950049109373542017-05-28T20:16:00.983+01:002017-05-28T20:16:00.983+01:00Correction (apart from misspelling "The"...Correction (apart from misspelling "The")<br /><br />The Deathlok strips were in the Star Wars period. The strip featured during the Empire period was the much loved (on this blog) KILLRAVEN! (aka Apeslayer). I never read the Apeslayer stories but I wonder if those who had were confused by the really similar but somehow different stories.Aggynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-63144655581497004382017-05-28T19:53:00.826+01:002017-05-28T19:53:00.826+01:00I think I can clear up the whole Queen ruling a re...I think I can clear up the whole Queen ruling a republic confusion. <br /><br />Amidala is Queen of Naboo.
