My interest in the "expanded universe" ended with Splinter of the Mind's Eye and those old Han Solo novels. I understand some of the video games have been very good, though.My taste in comics runs to Alan Moore and Frank Miller and Bill Sienkiewicz, so I'm not sure the SW comics would be for me. Even when I was kid I knew the over-sized comics adaptation of Star Wars was utter crap. I'm not sure if this is the one you're referring to, but I can remember even as a kid being outraged at the crappy art. I think it was a two-part, oversized set. I got them as a gift because I was such a huge fan (i.e., I was nine in 1977) and was horrified as soon as I opened them.The Conan comics pretty much bug me, too, so Chuck, I think you and I are just listening to different drummers in our little heads. Except, apparently, when it comes to Akira Kurosawa.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />But I can't say that EVERYTHING produced for the expanded universe sucks, because I'm happily ignorant of it all, for the most part. And if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go back to watching The Killer. THAT'S my kind of entertainment.</blockquote>
