HAN SOLO AT STARS' END

by Brian Daley ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 16, 1979

The latest Star Wars comic book--but not the last, sure as anyone ever made little green dollars. Han Solo and his partner, the gorilla-like alien Chewbacca, were among the supporting attractions of the original movie; they're a pair of freelance smugglers whose souped-up ship, the Millennium Falcon, will run guns to any comer of the galaxy for the right price. In return for necessary repairs to the Falcon, they are dragooned into a surreptitious investigation of a large number of mysterious disappearances recently engineered by the tyrannical Corporate Sector Authority. Joining forces with a peppy little android, the larger machine in which it is camouflaged, and a couple of furry and catlike aliens, Han eventually finds the missing--thousands of them--stashed with fiendish ingenuity in ""stasis booths"" at Stars' End, a spanking new clink on the outskirts of the galaxy. Not as irredeemably awful as an earlier spinoff (Splinter of the Mind's Eye, 1978), but not much good either.
