This month’s sponsor: Craig Miller has lived a comics fan’s dream come true. He graduated college and started his first job: working on the publicity for Star Wars. His book, Star Wars Memories, tells previously untold stories of the making and marketing of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. More Movie Memories continues the adventure, with more stories about Star Wars; tales of his adventures as a consultant to Jim Henson, Warner Bros., Disney, Universal, and other studios on many of the genre films of the 1980s including Superman II, The Thing, The Dark Crystal, Krull, The Last Starfighter, The Black Cauldron, and more; and talking about his second career in Hollywood: as a writer of animation on shows ranging from Curious George to The Real Ghostbusters to G.I. Joe and Beast Wars. Both books are now available for sale on Amazon!
