FAME: Mark Hamill

Summary

Before he was a Jedi, Mark Hamill was a Navy kid with a love of comics and a dream of acting. FAME: Mark Hamill traces his journey from early stage roles to the life-changing audition for Star Wars, the car accident that nearly ended it all, and his rise as both an on-screen icon and celebrated voice actor. Told in his own words, this comic explores the highs and lows of a career spanning decades—from the pressures of sudden fame to the quiet discipline of voice work. Featuring behind-the-scenes moments and thoughtful reflection, this is a grounded, engaging look at the man behind Luke Skywalker—and the many roles that followed.
