MARK HAMILL: BACK IN ACTION!

Way back in 2004, Ian Trussler wrote a very nice career overview feature for AFICIONADO's issue 5/6, long since out of print from its original limited edition run, called MARK HAMILL: WHAT HAPPENED?

With Mark's recent convention appearance at Celebration V this year, I thought it would be a nice idea to revise and update Ian's feature with a new design and additional pictures.

Here's the link to it on the main site: http://www.starwarsaficionado.com/markhamillwhathappened.html

And here's another great feature on Hamill's varied film and TV career that's worth a look:
