In a secret bunker somewhere in the Northeast US, I-CON Labs hides their Media Intake Department, a complex filled with people whose sole purpose is to read, watch, and listen to absolutely everything, then tell us about it, so we can tell you about it.
One of our sleep-deprived lunatics media technicians has just finished Brandon Graham’s King City, and he can’t won’t stop raving about it. The short version is that it’s about a guy named Joe and his cat, Earthling J.J. Catingsworth the Third, and their adventures in King City, and that it’s definitely not for kids.
The long version is way weirder.

Previous SW: 1999 posts here and here.
This’ll be my last Star Wars: 1999 post for a long while, I hope you enjoy it. Here are some characters that may be a little more familiar (well, some):
- Anakin Skywalker is a freighter pilot in the Outer Rim when he encounters Obi-Wan Kenobi on the run. Kenobi quickly appreciates the young man’s talents, but suspects Skywalker may be running away from something in his past. Here I’ve got two versions of Anakin: on the left is his appearance for most of the story, with a simple pilot’s jumpsuit. On the right is his uniform once he is proclaimed Dark Lord of the Sith.
- Prestor Organa is an esteemed nobleman from the planet Alderaan who is attempting to divorce the Republic’s ties with the Jedi Knights, whom he sees as unpredictable and dangerous.
- Mandalore is the primary antagonist of the series and leader of the Mandalorian raiders waging war the galaxy. As per tradition, upon receiving the leadership of the Mandalorian people (by defeat of his predecessor, naturally), his name was taken away and only given the title “Mandalore,” or “one that is all.” With the Mandalorians being the main enemies, it would be easy to have a guys who all look like Boba Fett, so I’ve tried to keep recognizable shapes with Mandalore here while trying some new things too.
- Jan Solusar is a Mandalorian defector from the last war and an old flame of Obi Wan Kenobi’s. Although she had a comfortable life as a prizefighter during peacetime, Jan is once again pulled into one of Kenobi’s wild crusades. Visually, I wanted Jan to look practical and powerful, her Mandalorian armor covering her more like that of a gladiator than a soldier or bounty hunter.
