Comic: Star Wars Letter Collumn

**UPDATED _LINK FIXED***
I just got this one in my email - very interesting stuff. a collection of Star Wars letters. thanks to Scott

I am going to reprint his email ....

Today I was down in my storage unit and going through a bunch of comics trying to figure out what to dump and what to keep. Recently on some sites like Crosseyed Cyclops, you put up all the Star Wars comics ever made. I downloaded them all and to my dismay all the issues to the Marvel Comics Star Wars that were available cut ALL the ads and letter columns out! Growing up and reading the letter columns was great since there was no internet back then and when you read some of the requests for stories, you have to laugh since Marvel couldn't do a whole lot. The excitement for Star Wars can be felt in the letters, especially when they revealed news of a sequel... a little movie called "The Empire Strikes Back".

I grabbed my Star Wars comics that I had from the original Marvel Comics run and I scanned all the Star-Words letter colums for the issues that I had. I saved them all at a size that you can read and enjoy! In the zip file is also a notepad file of other Star Wars Marvel Comics I had but they didn't have a letter column in them that month.

Marvel Comics STAR WARS "Star-Words" letter columns in

6, 17, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35, 47, 50, 53, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 81

STAR WARS Comics I have, but there are no letter columns in these issues...

30, 32, 34, 36, 37, 49, 51, 52, 54, 65, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 98

If anyone else has any of the missing issues, please scan them and put them up! They are great reading! Here a link for the 35 comics I havve that did have a letter column!

Thanks again to Scott for this great stuff!

Movie: Skateboard Sense

Safety film about the (then) new hobby of skateboarding. Produced by Sid Davis.
1970s

This is one hell of a fun retro flashback. With the xtreme games and other skateboard events of today it is amazing to look back at where it started from. (I remeber being a kid of 6-9 and having one of these old super hard board with no play in the trucks types.. Those were the days, hell if they had skateboards like they do these days (With shocks, flex and otehr goodies) i wouldnt have nearly broken my kneck 20 times !! HA!) zt

here are two file types to choose from
mpeg
skateboard_sense.mpeg
or
mp4
skateboard_sense_512kb.mp4

Thanks to the IA for this retro gem!

Misc comments from IA

Surprisingly mellow Sid Davis production covering skateboarding safety, circa 1975. If you have ever seen the documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys, you'll recognized the surfing influenced skating moves displayed in this film. For that alone, this makes this a wonderful time capsule.

RaDiCaL video, dude! Takes me back to my youth - banana boards and any incline we could find in the city. Too bad my bones couldn't handle the fall nowadays.

Can you imagine these guys with their helmets (I'm not talking about just their hair), their elbow and knee pads and their 'tricks' going into a competition today? They'll be laughed off I tell you!
