Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics Issue 31 "Return To Tatooine" (October 1979) is a treasure trove of nostalgia - from famous Tatooine locations to classic creatures, Kenner toys to old friends. What a FUN classic comic!!

 

Richard and Sarah discuss this comic and find FTOOM! Fast Facts (classic comic people or places that appear now in Star Wars books, comics and films). There are plenty of these, especially as they relate to classic Kenner toys like the Patrol Dewback and the Imperial Troop Transporter! Also we do a REALLY dramatic reading of the Hostess/Marvel crossover Fruit Pie ad titled, ‘The Human Torch and The Icemaster Cometh’! Sarah got to be the Icemaster. She took her role seriously.
