BEE The Last of Us Part 1 draws its inspiration from the Savage Starlight comic series, a 14-episode collection of comics that appear as collectibles within the remake. This guide explains, step by step, how to locate every comic piece across the game’s chapters.
Where are all the comics located?

Collectibles are distributed across several episodes. Each level hides one to four comics. The following list details the exact locations where the Savage Starlight issues can be found:
- Pittsburgh (Chapter 5) – 4 items.
- Suburbs (Chapter 6) – 2 articles.
- Tommy’s Dam (Chapter 7) – 2 items.
- University (chapter 8) – 1 subject.
- Lake Resort (Chapter 9) – 2 articles.
- Fleet (chapter 10) – 2 pcs.
- Jackson (chapter 12) – 1 piece.

Most items sit in familiar spots, though some comics have been relocated by the developers. The guide below walks through these collectibles in chronological order. Completing the entire comic series unlocks the achievement titled “We Can’t Break Us.”
How to read all comics
ttt
Even with all 14 collectibles gathered, players cannot read the interior of the Savage Starlight comics. Only the front and back covers are viewable. There is no mechanism to open or read the pages. The back text of each issue briefly hints at events within the game or references relationships between characters, but the comics do not reveal additional story details.
Early fans speculated that the Savage Starlight series hinted at a future Naughty Dog project; however, the developers did not tie these tales into any new or announced game in the Wild Lands arc, so players cannot access more content in any format.

This item marks one of the updated placements—previously, the collectible sat in the bathroom toilet.
