DescriptionStar Wars #46 Pg. 13Pencils by Carmine Infantino Inks by Tom Palmer Lettering by Diana Albers Written by J.M. (John Marc) DeMatteis (originally credited under alias Wally Lombego) Wrapping up my celebration of Star Wars during the month of May, with another page from the original Marvel run, this time from issue #46 with pencils by Carmine Infantino and inks by Tom Palmer. Rebel hero Cody Sunn-Childe, now a pacifist with mystical powers, created the City of Dreams for peace. Lando Calrissian derides him as a coward, arguing that some battles still demand violence. We also see Chewbacca with Lando on this page. Those top 2 panels of the Rebel hero Cody Sunn-Childe was why I wanted this page, as this entire issue is basically dedicated to his viewpoint (and Lando's opposition to it) despite other things that occur. But it's a nice bonus for me to also get Chewie and Lando here. Bonus background info on this story: This story's writer, J.M. DeMatteis, originally had Lando Calrissian accept Cody Sunn-Childe's pacifist views, but Lucasfilm overruled him and had Marvel Comics change the ending so that Lando decried Sunn-Childe's views as wrong. The writer strongly disagreed with this change, and had his name taken off the project, choosing instead the pseudonym Wally Lombego. The unedited version was published in issue #141 of Marvel UK. It is later reprinted in The Empire Strikes Back Annual #2 and collected editions released by Dark Horse before Marvel took back the license. I never have the quantity of art (nor dedication/patience) to do 31 posts during May, but happy to have shared 11 Star Wars pieces over the last several weeks this time around. It's been fun month of May, back to sharing art from other franchises after a bit of a break! Issue #46: While Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca are on their way to rescue Han Solo, the Millennium Falcon encounters problems while in hyperspace which causes them to enter another dimension. They come upon a mysterious floating city, and soon discover that the city is the psychic creation of the long lost Rebel hero Cody Sunn-Childe. Sunn-Childe turned his back on his violent past years ago when he discovered this powerful mystical ability, and so created his City of Dreams to live with his friends in peace away from the Galactic Civil War. Calrissian rejects Sunn-Childe's views claiming that there are times that violence is necessary and he proceeds to repair the Falcon to leave Sunn-Childe's paradise. Social/Sharing |

A very memorable issue from the original run, and a standout page of Cody explaining to Lando how he came to be there. A fantastic month of art you have shared with us, thanks Kavi!
And what kind of fool would attempt to post something every day for a month? Only a madman, surely.

Only obsessive compulsive Star Wars maniacs can manage MORE than 31 pieces of art shared in 31 days during the month of May, with multiple days of sharing multiple pieces of art within that span! You and I will have to track down those sick individuals and have some sort of intervention with them ;-p

Classic Infantino alien character straight from the DC Silver Age!

Omg, bro, I never in a million years would've guessed that any art collector, even a massive Star Wars fan, would want this page primarily for the top 2 panels with that hideous Cody Sunn-Childe, and feel that Chewie and Lando are only the "bonus"! Before reading your description, I had already looked at the page and my first thought was "Ugh, too bad the first 3 panels have that hideous looking character in them. Thankfully the final 3 panels have Chewie and Lando!". 🤣
Congrats on another Star Wars month!

All kidding/jokes aside (because i know you are to some degree), the Weird looking aliens/non human species is a huge part of what makes Star Wars great to me. Not to mention all the other unsung heroes in the Rebellion against the galaxy from various different forms of media (books, comics, tv shows, animated series) besides the main films with the main characters everyone knows and loves. That said, of course I love having Chewie and Lando by Infantino in a Star Wars example, because those are definately 2 of the characters he drew quite a bit and is known for doing in the comics. But BTW, that hideous Cody Sunn-Childe is actually in ALL 6 panels if you look more closely. It's just that those first 2 panels are ALL him and are more about his back story of how he got there and created the city, rather than the actual scene taking place on the rest of the page. ANYWAY, haha...it's def been a fun month, and I'm always a bit sad when the month of June starts.

He's got a style that is Billy Dee
Reminds me of Carmine's fantasies
Where every ink was as fresh as Tom's bright blue lines (Sky)
Now and then when I smack that face
He takes me away to that special page
And if I stared for Tom I'd probably break down and cry
Whoa-oh-oh! Sunn-Childe o' mine
Whoa, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love Carmine
He's got life in a paradise
As if peace lost again
I hate to look into those thighs and see a coward's pain
His hair reminds me of a warm, safe place
Where as a Childe would hide
And pray for Chewbacca and the rain to quietly pass peace by
Whoa-oh-oh! Sunn-Childe o' mine
Ooh, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love Carmine
Oh yeah! Whoa-oh-oh-oh! Sunn-Childe o' mine
Ooh-oh, oh, oh! Sweet love Carmine
Whoa, oh-oh-oh! Sweet Childe Carmine, ooh yeah
Ooh! Sweet love of style

Thanks for making this month so much fun. It was nice to see so many examples of Star Wars art from your collection. I especially enjoyed this page from the original Star Wars comic series! Carmine Infantino did his usual terrific job here, telling a complicated story with great skill. The composition is great and the drawing is very polished. And I have to add that Tom Palmer's inks are spot on, as always. Great pick-up, congrats.

"Don't meet your heroes" comes to mind :) I like how you can tell it's Lando feature-wise but Infantino/Palmer still give him that more cartoony comic book-y look. Congrats!

Hmmm...Somehow I missed this one …Fantastic page! With all due respect to Ruben, I really dig those top two panels of Cody Sun-Childe. They really pop! Like you, a big attraction for me of Star Wars (and other sci fi classics) are the strange looking aliens and weird creatures. Of course panels 4-6 are icing on the cake. Great grab!
