542: Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #57 "BATTLE ON BESPIN" with Mark Newbold


In this episode, we’re diving into Classic Marvel Star Wars Comic Issue #57: “Battle on Bespin” with Mark Newbold (Fantha Tracks) - who has a special attachment to this issue. Originally released on December 15, 1981, Battle on Bespin follows Lando Calrissian as he faaaaaaallls rapidly towards the planet Bespin, having been thrown off Cloud City by Imperial Captain Treece in the last issue. Lobot and Lando find themselves among a village of disgruntled, excitable Ugnaughts hell-bent on getting the best possible camera footage for their "Action Tidings" live news program. Later Luke Skywalker and Shira Brie look for their friend on Cloud City only to be cornered by Imperial troops. How will they get out of this? Join us as we unpack the story, art, and legacy of this issue.
