Hasslein Books:
During the late 1970s and early '80s, the Los Angeles Times Syndicate
published a daily newspaper strip based on Star Wars, and it was
glorious. Written first by Russ Manning, and later by Archie Goodwin,
the series was richly illustrated, hilariously written and eminently
worthy of the Star Wars brand name.
In
1991, Russ Cochran Publishing produced a beautiful three-book slipcase
set reprinting the entire Archie Goodwin/Al Williamson run, while Dark
Horse reprinted the majority of the series in edited format under its
Classic Star Wars banner. However, two stories have thus far remained
unpublished: an untitled Sunday-only tale (unofficially dubbed "The
Kazhyyyk Depths" by fan-turned-author Jason Fry), and Russ Helm's
(admittedly awful) "Planet of Kadril." (For some reason, the Star Wars
strips had a lot of Russes.)
