Death Mark on Ord Mantell – Part 2
In between the first Star Wars movie and The Empire Strikes Back, Han Solo stopped by the planet Ord Mantell and had a run in with a bounty hunter. This event changed Han’s mind about sticking around with the Rebels… or did it? Well, the whole thing was just a throwaway line in the Empire Strikes Back, but here we’re showing you what really happened. Make sure you check out the Greedo’s Cousins storyarc to get a better context.
We also debut Boba Fett’s greatest unknown rival, The Awesome Bounty Hunter known as Skorr. He was the creation of Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson in the story The Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell. He proves himself to be quite a conniving bastard. He’s fairly unattractive in the comics, but Leanne’s cartoon version really blew me away. Who would have thought a villain I had little interest in would suddenly seem… well… cool? So, without further ado, meet Skorr. The latest addition to the BMS cast.
Oh! Wait.
He’s dead.
Oh well. 🙂
Stay tuned for a new BMS strip next Tuesday (January 25th)!!!
Scroll down for Milk Cartons of characters from today’s strip. Brought to you by the one and only T. Gatto.
In the meantime, have you seen my comic, Once Upon a Caper? It’s something I am writing and working on with Leanne (BMS’ resident penciller and inker). It’s the story of an eleven year old girl with the greatest super powers on Earth, only she’d give them all up at the drop of a hat. Fairy tale meets spandex! I currently have a preview issue available for download or in print ready to be mailed to your doorstep for a reasonable price. The Sovena Red preview issue is 22 pages of full color action adventure. The ongoing series will launch later this year but we can always use support!
You can also follow Leanne’s to-ings and fro-ings over at her blog. While she does her very best to deliver art for Blue Milk Special, she also manages to find time to work as a professional comics illustrator (Perhapanauts, After School Agent one shot, Pulverized, Lava-Roid, Casper and the Spectrals) and editor / artist (Whatever Happened to Baron Von Shock). Currently we are working on a children’s illustrated storybook as well as developing the Once Upon a Super Hero ongoing series. Apart from Star Wars, you will find Leanne’s gallery filled with all sorts of goodies, ranging from classic horror, to animation and Harry Potter. Check it out and give the girl some support. You can also follow her on Twitter and join the Leanne Hannah fan page on Facebook.
You can view all of the BMS Milk Cartons so far on our Downloads page.

Monsieur, you are spoiling us…
What an awesome surprise for a Friday – fantastic panels and a great gag. It would appear there are some things that media hound Fett WON’T take credit for 😉
Thanks Neil! 🙂
I had a lot of fun coloring this one and doing the composition. Skorr won me over in the process. A shame he got shot. He actually makes a few appearances in the Archie Goodwin classic Star Wars comics.
And thank you for the second Han’s sweet ass shot… I love this comic.
hehehe…
good ‘ol Boba trying to take credit for something he didn’t do.. 🙂
good thing he spit it out lol!
Honesty is the best answer kids! and stay in school! 😀
I would totally buy a Skorr action figure.
I love when fan works delve into off-screne events. It’s even better when they do it in a completely silly fashion. 😉
Skorr’s dead, so what? Since when has that stopped anyone in this strip from making a return appearance?
Exactly! Well said, that man.
You mean Biggs? Biggs is too dense to know he’s dead. Obi Wan came back only because he does so as a ghost in the movie. However, in BMS Tarkin never came back and I can’t think of any others. We’ve tried to be good.
Skorr could have survived – he’s an alien, so maybe his heart is in his crotch, or something! Or like in Star trek, he has two hearts!
You guys are made of pure WIN!!!!!!
NOOOOOOO!
Alas poor Kreedo, I barely knew him (and didn’t have the time to assemble his carton)!
I thought he was Freeto (you know like Frito).
Will one of his cousins inherit his sombrero?
Skor is awesome, so lets have a yeah or nay vote; does he warrant his own carton?
If so, it will take me about 2 weeks to scratch build one.
Biggs returned as a ghost. Kreedo will return as a carton? Could be quite a ridiculous new character Rod.
“I’m going to CREAM you Solo!”
LOL!!!! Nice one.
I mean, what could be more action-packed than a cardboard carton incapable of independent movement? It will take the comic-strip equivalent of CGI.
“Well, you know, back in 1975, we just didn’t have the technology to make a living milk carton believable. Now, CGI technology has caught up with my original vision.”
Kreedo Sombrero, Bounty Hunter. A rodian barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world’s first bionic rodian. Kreedo Sombrero will be that rodian. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster, and in a convenient single serving carton.
As you said, that would totally fit in with Lucas’s … uh, Lucasing?

I shouted, “Don’t look, Boba!”
But it was too late
He’d already been mooned
That’s no moon…
Ha ha – good one!
“And in my time Mr.Solo – I’ve seen a few.”
More Han Solo tushie! Yay! X D
And again! Serious Star Wars vehicular porn! That artwork is fantastic!!
Thanks to Geoffrey Padilla’s exports of the 3D models. The backgrounds are vectorized and photoshopped versions of various model dioramas and McQuarrie concept art which I have toyed with.
Wasn’t Leanne doing something with Rob Zombie ? What’s going on with that ?
Can I just say, that maybe he had a SKORR to settle?
(Insert Rimshot)
I hope the percussively uninitiated don’t misunderstand you. Who knows where this thread will go then…
LOL. Yeah, that was a pun I toyed with.
Yeah, it’s such an obvious one. But still hilarious when used right. 😛
This stuff makes my day, and I was having a very bad day. Now it is a VERY good day.
😀
Wow. So glad we could help! Hope you have much better days from now on.
Looking forward to more Once Upon a Super Hero. I really dug the preview issue. (And, as always, I’m digging what’s happening in BMS. Too bad about Skorr, of course. *g*)
Thank you! That means a lot, particularly coming from another writer. 🙂 Best of luck with Cowboys and Aliens 2.
And now, introducing…!
What?
Oh.
Never mind.
A death mark isn’t an easy thing to live with afterall ;P
HAAAAHAAA
this made me laugh the hardest of all sop far
