"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 morphed
into a monthly comic book. Now, more than three decades later, new
series by Dark Horse Comics continue to expand the "Star Wars
"galaxy.
The second book in the Star Wars Art series, "Star Wars Art: Comics
"brings together the very best artwork from the entire history of
"Star Wars "comics publishing, showcasing original art from the top
comics artists working in the industry. Hand-selected and curated
by George Lucas, the art featured in this volume 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 work created exclusively for this book by
over 20 renowned artists, including John Cassaday, Sam Kieth, Mike
Mignola, Paul Pope, Frank Quitely, Jim Steranko, and other comics
superstars. "Star Wars Art: Comics "is a tribute to sequential
storytelling, a worthy and justly celebrated art form.
Praise for "Star Wars Art: Comics"
"George Lucas has left no medium unused, as this visually arresting
compendium proves."
