Canon Linked from 134 articles
Tatooine Sojourn is a comic strip that was distributed by the Los Angeles Times Syndicate and published in U.S. and Canadian newspapers. The series was written by Steve Gerber and drawn by Russ Manning. It was collected in Classic Star Wars: The Early Adventures 4, and was also available in the Webstrips section of Hyperspace. It was the first comic strip to appear in both the Sunday and Weekly strips, as the prior strips were either Sunday-only ("The Kashyyyk Depths" and "The Constancia Affair") or Weekly-only ("Gambler's World").
It was among the strip's first five story arcs, which were licensed by the short-lived Lucasfilm subsidiary Black Falcon.
