Another familiar 2000AD artist drew this one, and it has a much better proper Star Wars atmosphere than those other comics. The story still is nothing special, though.

Bit of a different story as Boba Fett explores an abandoned ship, it does include the normal bounty hunter stuff but it’s incorporated in a fun way. You see he takes one of his bounty’s with him because it doesn’t matter if they are dead or alive, for him to collect so he makes them walk first to explore the ship and all the possible dangers.

It’s quite fun exploring the ship and all the different things they encounter but what really gets me is the bounty trying everything and anything to get a kind of reaction from Boba, he tries all the tricks, begging, pleading and even attacks him at one point but never get anything in return.

The bugs made me unintentionally laugh because the bounty thought it was a good idea to get close to corpses with unknown bumps all over them, so when they pop out and he’s surprised it just made me laugh because how silly it is, then Boba Fett just leaves him to die and sets himself on fire to get rid of the bugs before jettisoning Slave 1 as if it’s a normal day.

All in all, I had a good time with this, it’s not going to blow anyone’s mind but it’s a lot of fun.

One of my favorite of this series of comics. Brief, simple, and interesting. The art style is great and helps to feel the atmosphere of SW universe.

Being a huge fan of SW, I'd read a lot of comic books based on the Star Wars universe but this one defiantly one of the best ones in the case of Boba Fett's storyline. Although short, the books in this series are well written and enjoyable reads. I liked getting more facts about Boba and finding out more about his journey. And this is a good mark of quality, so I guess write a review in the blog sections on my website about the Star Wars model kits.

Dead or Alive

Great piece on Fett, just felt a little short.
Provides a little more insight into the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter.

I’m honored to have found a comic book so rare that I had to add a book on goodreads for it (although it was in the boba Fett omnibus)

The actual book was ok I guess
