Pete in ROTJ weekly

[spoons]

A few years back [mention]naughtyjedi[/mention] or the Vintage Rebellion's Peter Davis posted a pic of him meeting Vader after winning a toy prize.

This weekend I spotted a letter from a 10 year old Pete in ROTJ weekly - what a great record to have of that event!

Love it, amazing you found this.

That's very cool, does he still have the photo mentioned in the letter?

You can tell he's so old, how can you forget this letter!!!! Great memory Pete, you need to get that in some frame and in the collection

Not that I've notcied in 230 issues but still 100 to go, but I heard a rumour that one of the FB collectors had a drawing published so will post when I find it.

I think it is a little strange that not many of the kids writing to the comic is star wars collectors or something like that today on forums :shock:

I think it is the same in denmark. I have only heard about 1 or 2 collectors that has a letter in the danish star wars comics and danish fan club magazines :shock:

Probably around 2000 letters/writers in these things [mention]Pomse2001[/mention] and there are maybe a couple of 100 regularly posting collectors on Facebook, of which I'll recognise/remember maybe 50 names. A good chance I've missed a few

That is cool, that so many writers from the comics is still active in the star wars universe, I would also think it would be strange if they were not active today

I think you misunderstood Lars, I don't know any others like Pete bit would imagine that some writers still collect
