The one word that stuck with me all these 25+ years is "outcrop" ... as soon as I recognised this book I had to look for that word and, well, there it is.Ricnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21385664.post-74099065534325898912011-02-18T19:12:09.467-05:002011-02-18T19:12:09.467-05:00@Sean-Yes, these guys appeared in a couple differe...@Sean-Yes, these guys appeared in a couple different stories in the comics.

It's an adaptation of Marvel'...Sean has it! It's an adaptation of Marvel's <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars_55:_Plif" rel="nofollow"><i>Star Wars</i> #55</a>, "Plif!" David Michelinie and Walt Simonson, with inks by Palmer!<br /><br />The issue is reproduced in the Dark Horse softcover collection <i>Screams In The Void</i>, the fourth volume of their anthology of the old Marvel <i>Star Wars</i>.<br /><br />Several of the pages are direct re-workings of the Marvel Comics iss, e.g. that first page with Leia, Chewie and the other Rebels on speederbikes is based on the first page of "Plif!"<br /><br />That is so freakin' cool.<br /><br />Plif was the ma... er... the Hoojib. He ended up being a minor recurring character in the series, and actually managed to be more awesome than the series' first bunny character (<a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jaxxon" rel="nofollow">Jaxxon</a>, who a lot of fans hate, but I'll always have a soft spot for because he debuted in one of the first <i>Star Wars</i> comics I ever owned as a little kid). But I had no idea Plif had appeared in another medium--I thought he'd been unfairly confined to the comics; even if this record/book is just a retelling of one of the comics, it's still cool.<br /><br />Thank you for posting that.
