DescriptionDay 22. Thirty-one days of Star Wars (2025 edition).Shira Brie's plea for personal leave clashes with Leia's security protocols, until Luke steps in as both escort and ally on this page from "Shira's Story". David Michelinie plot and script, Walt Simonson plot and pencils, with Tom Palmer inks. If you know your OG Marvel Star Wars Expanded Universe lore, then you understand the importance of this storyline. Marvel’s original Star Wars series went through a bit of a renaissance under writer David Michelinie along with artists Walter Simonson and Tom Palmer. Over the course of 18 issues (barring the occasional fill-in issue), they told a series of stories that continued where the Empire Strikes Back left off, deftly moving the story forward while simultaneously maintaining the status quo (to not spoil anything being planned for the third film). Michelinie and Simonson’s most memorable addition to the Star Wars stable of characters (I would robustly argue) was Shira Brie, a rebel pilot initially meant to provide a romantic interest for Luke Skywalker and a rival for Princess Leia. She soon turns out to be a (spoiler alert) Imperial spy and manages to frame Luke (double spoiler alert) for her own murder. Her return (spoiler alert – she got better!) and first appearance as the dark lady Lumiya was two years after she appeared as Brie, in writer Mary Jo Duffy's Star Wars #88, illustrated by Bob McLeod and Cynthia Martin. A page featuring Lumiya from that issue was my very first vintage Star Wars OA page purchase back circa 1999, direct from Mr. McLeod. This is a white whale for me. The addition of a Simonson Star Wars page (as rare as a unicorn before auctioning of the Palmer estate), featuring Shira Brie (my favorite of the characters introduced in the original Marvel run), from this story arc and particular issue, was at the very top of my original Marvel OA collector checklist. Also, it has Hoojibs. Hoo boy! This is the May! Social/Sharing |
