Translated into limited edition art for the first time in collaboration with Marvel's fine art publisher, Choice Fine Art and Acme Archives, this collection of Star Wars comic book covers printed by Marvel celebrates one of the most famous film franchises of all time and encapsulates the battle between good and evil which both Star Wars and Marvel are recognised for.
It is rumoured that George Lucas initially approached Stan Lee in the mid-1970s when the first of the Star Wars film was still in production. With a timeless concept, complex, well-drawn characters and an underlying battle between good and evil, Stan Lee – who is responsible for the creation some of the most iconic superheroes in popular culture today - recognised something special in the burgeoning franchise, and so the Star Wars Marvel comic series was born. Published between 1977 - 1986, it was the first official comic book adaptation of Star Wars and the meeting of minds between two highly influential creative talents proved a to be a smash hit on its release.
Penned and inked by some of the greatest comic book artists and illustrators, including Carmine Infantino, Walt Simonson and Al Williamson, and chosen, curated and hand-signed by Stan Lee, the new collection pays tribute to some the most memorable Star Wars characters. Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, the Stormtroopers, R2-D2, C-3P0 and the greatest villain of all time, Darth Vader, all make an appearance in the series. The new collection consists of six images available in both boxed canvas and giclee on paper editions. Prices start from £695 and portfolio sets are also available.
The new Star Wars film The Force Awakes is predicted to set the record for the biggest global box-office opening this December, but before that don’t miss this epic new collection of limited edition art and be one of the first to own a slice of iconic pop culture history.
