Episode 181 - Newspaper Comics & Summer Loving

Have you read the classic Star Wars newspaper comic strips? You
know, the ones where Luke and Leia go to Casino Planet, Takrin's
wife shows up and Dodonna's Charles Bronson lookalike son VRAD
joins the crew? If you haven't you're not alone as these amazing
comics are often overlooked in the rich history of Star Wars and
comics. But where did this history begin and how does it connect to
Lucas' love of art and a little comic book store in New York City?
Join as we explore the stories and history of the many incredible
Star Wars newspaper comics, who made them and journey that begins
with some old Flash Gordon comics and ends with the soon to be
opened Lucas Museum of Narrative Art! So get rid of that space
actor Ben Kenobi & celebrate the love with BLAST POINTS! JOIN
