Episode #170 -- The Old Man Down the Road Star Wars Splash Page

This week's episode is an expansive interview with writer and artist Daniel Warren Johnson whose fan-made comics -- 2015's "Green Leader" and 2019's "Old Man Skywalker" -- have given Star Wars comics fans new views of characters both direct and tertiary in wordless stories that are as fluid as they are evocative.

(You can check out "Old Man Skywalker" at https://bit.ly/3ayP3Op and "Green Leader" at https://bit.ly/2Kq0YTW.)

While Johnson's mark on Star Wars, unofficial though it may be, cannot be discounted, his repertoire of work is boundless, evidenced by titles such as "Murder Falcon," "The Ghost Fleet" and his Eisner-nominated creator-owned mini-seres "Extremity." He's also recently launched a YouTube channel -- "Something From Nothing."

Oh, and if you like his Star Wars work, listen all the way to the end as he breaks down, for the first time ever, his plans for his next comic set in that galaxy a long time ago and far, far away. (Here's a hint: B-Wings.)
