This month, Topps returns to the
Star Wars universe with the
Star Wars Galaxy 7 Trading Card Set. In addition to the base card set, you can also look forward to a number of subsets and premium inserts, including sketch cards, and sketchographs. Below, you can see some of the sketch cards done for this set by artist
Ashleigh Popplewell; this is her first
Star Wars card set, she has also worked on such sets as
Avengers Assemble and
Marvel Beginnings II for Upper Deck, and Breygent's
Red Sonja and
Vampirella, among many others.
Here's what Ashleigh says
Star Wars means to her:
"
I have always been attracted to Star Wars because of its storytelling and beautiful visuals. As a child, I watched the films over and over on worn out VHS tapes and could tell you every line of each script. When episodes 1-3 came to be, I greatly appreciated the advances in effects and the vast landscapes and varieties of new characters. I mean, come on...it's Star Wars! Need I say more?"
