A fun tale

Artwork--exaggerated, but attractive. Script--exciting & fun. No grand cosmic struggles of Light vs Dark here, nor bold tales of freedom-fighters. A gritty, sci-fi/film noir tale of treasure-hunters, Hutt gangsters, & double-dealin' dames. Han & Chewie will be lucky to come out of this with their skins in one piece. But if they DO, Jabba The Hutt will pay them a cool fortune for the artifact called the Yavin Vasilika. But first, they have to beat half the bounty hunters, smugglers & low-lifes in the galaxy, & the only thing more dangerous than their enemies are their friends!

great piece from carlos meglia!!!

Any of you know Meglias work, this is a mush have. Yes, the artwork is cartoony but very dynamic and animated. His style is unique, original, and the script goes well with the visuals. Anyone aware of his other works like Luuna, Superman Tarzan, Canari, etc... definitely shouldn't miss this one. Hardcore Starwars fans might not fully like this one, but Boba Fett fans, like myself, looking for bunty hunter adventures within the starwars mythos, its a good read and a good peek for those with a taste for cartoony style that feels loose and pencil work that has a swing or spontaneity.
