The San Diego Comic Art Gallery (SDCAG) is proud to announce the
Comic Book Art of Star Wars exhibition, which will run from November 21st through January 31st, 2016. The exhibit will feature 30 pieces of rare Star Wars original art from the very first comic book series that was released by Marvel Comics in 1977. Many of these originals are from the first six issues, which adapted the blockbuster
George Lucas film. Included in this landmark display are many key and historically significant pages. Most art featured in this landmark exhibition are by renowned comic artist
Howard Chaykin, who will be on hand at the SDCAG on Saturday, November 21st from 5:00 to 8:00 PM, signing copies of the
Star Wars Artifact EditionStar Wars pages. Additionally, the book will include many other pieces of
Star Wars art not in the exhibition. Each page of the
Star Wars Artifact Edition is scanned from the actual original art and printed same size as the physical art boards. While appearing to be in black and white, an Artifact Edition features art scanned in color so all the subtle nuances of original art are clearly visible to the reader, including white out, blue pencil editorial notations, paste-over corrections and more.
