Re: When 2000AD met Star Wars
Brian Bolland is once again behind this dramatic vehicle scene, in a half-page Palitoy advert from Prog 141, 1 Dec 1979.

Re: When 2000AD met Star Wars
In 2000AD Prog 207, 11 Apr 1981, you could mail away to get a free Dengar figure from Palitoy.
Maybe not quite as cool as the Boba Fett offer, but a free figure is a free figure.

Re: When 2000AD met Star Wars
Prog 178, 20 Sep 1980, had a double dose of advertising. Palitoy promoted their The Empire Strikes Back action figures and vehicles with an interpretation of the movie took a few liberties with the details, and a repeat of Boba Fett mail away offer (cut down to a 1/3rd column).

Re: When 2000AD met Star Wars
Wrapped this all up into an article on SWNZ - http://www.swnz.co.nz/2019/05/10/when-2 ... star-wars/
Still have a few gaps I need to fill over time (there were a lot of adverts for Airfix kitset models, for example), so more eBay hunting to do.
