Surf N Stomp ! Playlist

I can't even feature a preview image as I've busted laptop screen(rather bust s surfboard but there you go - wish I had a talent for fixing things rather than breaking them) The sad news of Dick Dale surfing into the great hereafter inspired playlist-I'm sure it isn't really complete just yet I'll add a few more vids later if computer (a half screen computer) will allow it

May be a slow down with these playlists as I've finally got digi box to work again (had a accident a few years ago when ceiling litrally fell on me in my sleep -thought it wrecked tv box thing -but its ok  - but scart lead died as did remote control -so been making own tv channel kinda  to counter a lack of proper tv -kinda done that since I was 4 anyhow lol when I was little I didn't have imaginary friends but an imaginary TV station called BBC 9 which i'd make tv schedules (wall to wall Flash Gordon ,Hong Kong Fuey and Incredible Hulk lol) The Usual mad mix of Superfuzz Indie Kid Funk  Hop
+ plus a nod to Keith and Jean Micheal (becoming too regular these posthomorus tributes lately)
Sometimes the world don't make sense -so you create your own.

Star Wars Colouring Project-"The Stenax Shuffle" Part 1

Cover by John Higgins - I saw the original at my local libary along with other Marvel UK  art from that era - This issue came out just before Return of the Jedi was released  I didn't get to read it first time around I started off on Issue 2 of Return of The Jedi weekly and  that was about half way through the follow up  story-Return to Stenos so I was a bit confused about the events in that story - but caught up eventually as they would reprint old stories right up to the weeklies conclusion in 1986 or thereabouts - Great fun coluring these - here's the first six pages - A flashback story which from what I read in a forum had it's origins in 1979 but never got around to print as Empire Strikes Back came out so it got woven into another story - Han didn't really get a look in for about two years  so it was a nice way to bring him back.

I won't say these are truly complete yet -I guess like everything I colour -just the foundations -want to move on-started off well then got sidetracked . Come back after a week and the imaginary art editor in my head is getting on my nerves -so I want to move onto the next six pages or some of Carlos drawings from his colouring book.
This was the first issue where Mary Jo Duffy took over as head writer on the strip - I found this intriguing interview the other day on youtube where she answered alot of questions that have been bugging me since 86


 You could say she wrote the very first Clone Wars /Old Republic story starring Obi Wan and the Droid RKO- obnioxous guy hassling RKO reminds me of Kenneth Williams -art by Carmine Infantino inks by Bob Wiacek

I hate to think that Sir Alec was just sitting in a hut all that time on Tatooine the odd astro luxury cruise here and there sounds about right to me- maybe this story could somehow be woven into cannon or maybe not (but was cannon in my mind in 80's)

Great news the other week  the Return of Valance and Domina Tagge - apparently Jaxxon the Rabbit is also making an appearence (George won't like that ) and the wonderfully named Amazia Foxtrain as well as Walt Simonson who drew this cover  and Kerry Gammill (who penciled Stenax Shuffle) - a sequel or perhaps prequel seeing as Valance is dead after ESB  to "The Crimson Forever" which appeared in a annual about 1981 perhaps they can resolve other stories in the future -doesn't seem fair the way Mary Jo and Cynthia Martin didn't get around to completing there story arcs as discussed in earlier video -
 Valance-also appears in Cadet Solo comic - could he actually become canon if he survives - might be the reason Hans sent off to Mimban
