Compensated
Episode 49 of the popular podcast Masters Cast is now up. The podcast has been covering the world of Masters of the Universe fandom for years and starting with episode 48, Leanne (Blue Milk Special artist-in-chief) joined the regular cast. Leanne was the editor on the 2002 Masters of the Universe reboot through MVCreations / Image / Crossgen comics. At around 30 minutes in, a discussion about Skeletor and Hordak takes a Star Wars twist thanks to Leanne at about 31:30. Jon Kallis and Leanne also discuss their time at Power Con in September (36 minutes in). And I agree with Jon about the Emperor. 😉 You have to care about Masters of the Universe to truly enjoy Masters Cast, of course.
I mentioned recently that Leanne’s twitter account: @stratosmacca will be debuting new Star Wars art and sketches over the next few weeks, exclusive to Twitter. Here’s a taste of what is to come. If you are a Twitter person, you might like to follow Leanne to get the art updates and communicate with her directly. You can also follow @BlueMilkSpecial on Twitter. That’s me.
Also, Leanne Hannah the Art Book Vol. 1 will debut on Monday. As I’ve said before, we will not sell BMS as a collection out of respect to Lucasfilm’s intellectual property rights. That decision means that BMS doesn’t have the perk of offering a product for sale. In order to get a little sustenance I’ve been busy putting Leanne’s art books together and hope that readers will want to buy a small piece of BMS, encapsulated amongst a collection of Leanne’s best color pinup art. We will throw in a free BMS glossy promo card, previously only available at select comic/sci-fi conventions. For a little extra you will be able to get a Star Wars sketch card of the character of your choice, hand drawn and signed by Leanne. This is a way you can support BMS and our lean fan lifestyle.
May your weekend be filled with Forciness!
I wish I had a Boba Fett action figure. anyone would do. I have an old Jango fett one from the old aotc line, but he’s kinda “meh” because he has barely any moving parts, which would be ok if not for the fact he’s molded in a very annoying and awkward pose, like he’s frozen in time trying to duck to his left from obi’s lightsaber while holding both blasters cowboy-style. such things makes for a nice collectable bust-thingie I guess but not for an action figure you’re suposed to toy with :/
I remember finding an old Boba fig still in it’s packaging during the 30th anniversary in London 07 ( they had hundreds of unopened figures from older toy-lines of sw for sale there, yum!) but he costed 50 pounds! @_@
That was expensive for a Swedish teenager back in 07 T.T
I had Boba Fett when I was a kid in the 80s, but only because I found him at the bottom of our garden (yard). Some neighbor must have lost him, or thrown him away. I kept him, naturally. The paint was a little worn on him from abuse by the elements, but that seemed fitting for Boba, somehow.
I heard the Boba Fett figure wasn’t all that popular at first, because he was released along with everyone else from episode IV but wasn’t in the film so no one knew who he was. How far our favorite bounty hunter has come from his humble beginnings. 😛
The Empire always makes good on their word.
Just ask Lando! 😉
The look on Han’s face in the last panel — priceless! (For everything else, there’s the Empire’s MasterCard)
I can see why you compare Boba Fett to a politician. 😉
This strip really makes me feel for poor Han. All he wanted was a little lifeline there, Boba. Not cool, man. Not cool.
Cool podcast! Is it Leanne sticking up for She-Ra?
No, you’re mistaking her for Katy Cartee-Haile. Katy’s trademark is her giggle and love of Rainbow Brite (and She-Ra).
Discovered your website via Facebook…it took me 2 days to read through the strips, and I really liked them!
Eagerly awaiting how Luke’s parentage is revealed, and the parody of Shadows of the Empire.

I know the hannah’s are big doctor who fans, and albeit this is based on tennants doctor who isn’t their favourite, it is a very well-made video featuering the robot copies of the game tf2’s character Soldier “Jane” Doe and the unique in-game lv1 sentry guns. the title of the cideo is a pun on the one of the game’s most influential families – the Mann Family – and the character Dell Conagher who is credited as the designer of said sentry guns (Delleks vs CyberMenn). even if not into the game company valve’s products it is worth seeing if you like doctor who, or jsut very well user-made video shorts. I get kinda jelous that some people has these kind of skills and not me :s
I’m gonna get em both, but any insight into the difference between the Art-book, and the Sketchbook?
Also: Leanne looks entirely too happy looking at the centerfold, makes me wonder what she’s putting in the books (Probably not a sketch of Ben Roethlisberger). Can’t wait to find out! 😉
Thanks, man! A graphical sample of the interior pages of both books will be posted in Monday’s blog. Basically, the Artbook is color pinups, and the Sketch Book is black and white sketches only.
