Chronicle Books Star Wars Art: Comics

Star Wars and sequential art share a long history: Star Wars debuted on the comic book page in 1977, when Marvel Comics began publishing a six-part adaptation of the first film, which turned into a monthly comic. Now, more than three decades later, the new Dark Horse Comics series continues to expand the Star Wars galaxy. The second book in the Star Wars Art series, Star Wars Art: Comics, brings together the best of the entire history of Star Wars comic book publishing and features original art from the best comic book artists working in the industry. The art in this volume, hand-picked and curated by George Lucas, includes interior pages and fully painted covers from artists such as Al Williamson, Howard Chaykin, Adam Hughes, Bill Sienkiewicz, Dave Dorman and many more – as well as new works. Exclusively for this book, more than 20 renowned artists, including John Cassaday, Sam Keith, Mike Mignola, Paul Pope, Frank Quitely, Jim Steranko and other comic book superstars, have created new pieces. Star Wars Art: Comics is a tribute to sequential storytelling, a dignified and rightly celebrated art form. Praise for Star Wars Art: Comics: “George Lucas has left no medium untapped, as this visually engaging summary proves.” — Entertainment Weekly.
