Description
Great art by Tim from the 1990s Kitchen Sink series (an officially licensed comic book series that adapted songs by the band "Grateful Dead" into comic stories), that reminds me highly on Star Wars scenes from Lukes home-planet Tatooine: the first panel may also play near Jabbas palace or in the dusty, crime-filled streets of Mos Eisley, the second panel motive has a “Stormtrooper riding a Dewback” feeling and the face-shot on last panel looks like the visage of a "Tusken Raider" 😊
Please mail me if you know from what issue exactly this page is, it might be from the “Eagle Mall” storyline in Vol. 2 (1994) of the series that plays in a SF/western setting … but I don’t own the issues. Look up my other Truman pages from Grimjack and from the superb 1989 DC "Hawkworld" miniseries if you like what you see here!

Truman probably also goes further back to Star Wars' own influences of John Carter, Dune, and who knows?  Maybe Lucas listened to the Dead too.

Wait--There was a Grateful Dead Comic in the 1990s? And they wrote stories based on Grateful Dead songs? My mind is blown. How cool an idea is that? Love the look of this page by Tim Truman. I agree it has a Star Wars sort of look to it, but that's not necessarily bad. That middle panel does remind me of a Stormtrooper riding some kind of beastie on Luke's home planet of Tatooine. And that bottom panel does look suspiciously like a Tuskan Raider. Still, that's an amazing pick-up you found. A Grateful Dead Comic book--Will wonders never cease?
