*"I've wanted to do Star Wars for years," admits comics veteran Gil Kane. "I was most happy at the opportunity to add (George Lucas' creations) to a long list of characters I've done that go back, seemingly, to the beginning of time." Kane began his impressive career back in the 1940's, with Inspector Bentley of Scotland Yard for Pep Comics. This led to lucrative jobs for DC and eventually Marvel, as well as the Prince Valiant and Tarzan newspaper strips. *Source: Back of card
