Indy comics artists drawing some Star Wars tales

[Greg Stephens]

I think this is worth a mention. From the Star Wars website:

It's indy meets Star Wars, and we're not talking about a certain globetrotting archeologist. Some of the hottest talents from the independent comic scene are contributors to the next installment of the Star Wars Tales anthology series, and many have their eyes set squarely on Jar Jar Binks.

Tony (Sock Monkey) Millionaire takes on Jar Jar's long-suffering father; Peter (Hate) Bagge exposes Jar Jar's Senatorial career; James (American Elf) Kochalka chronicles an assassination attempt on Jar Jar Binks' sippy cup; and Gilbert (Love & Rockets) Hernandez and Bob (Minimum Wage) Fingerman tell tales that have nothing to do with everyone's favorite whipping Gungan.

Sounds like fun to me. The whole concept of Jar Jar just cracks me up, so I'm thinking this comic should be a pip.
