*It was Topps Comics' Editor-in-Chief Jim Salicrup who suggested the vile, bloated Jabba the Hutt as a possible subject for Sam Kieth to illustrate. "Why not?" Kieth responded philosophically. "In 40 years, I'll look like that myself." Kieth is a native Californian who learned the comic book ropes as the inker on Comico's well-received Mage. After various other projects he hit national acclaim once again with The Sandman for DC (1988). *Source: Back of card
