Savage Starlight Comics in The Last of Us Part 1 Remake: Locations and How to Read Them
The Last of Us Part 1 Remake draws heavily from the Savage Starlight comic series, a 14‑issue set tucked away as collectibles throughout the game. This guide walks players through where to find each comic chapter by chapter, helping them collect the full set as they progress.
Where are all the comics located?

Most items appear in familiar spots, though a few comics were relocated by the developers. The guide that follows presents the collectibles in the order they appear in the game. Finishing the entire Savage Starlight arc unlocks the achievement titled “We Can’t Break Us.”
How to read all comics

Even with every collectible gathered, players cannot read the interiors of the Savage Starlight issues. Only the front and back covers are visible. There is no mechanism to open or reveal pages. The back text on each issue hints at events within the game or references relationships between characters, but the comics do not disclose additional story details.
Early fans speculated that the Savage Starlight series hinted at a future Naughty Dog project; however, the developers did not connect these tales to any new or announced game in the Wild Lands arc, so players cannot unlock more content in any format.

Problem two – Wild Stars Memory Carrier
After exiting the sewer, a short road leads the players past an ice cream truck and into a left-hand house. Go upstairs to find a bedroom book. This location marks an updated placement; previously the collectible sat in the bathroom toilet. A safe sits on the second floor, and the vault hacking instructions are in a separate guide. Note that meeting a sniper can block returning to the house, so a chapter restart may be needed to collect the comic.
