George Lucas commissioned George Perez to draw for a Star Wars comic
book - eventually published in STAR WARS ART: COMICS (Oct 2011)
Perez writes: This is the only comic page I've ever drawn of the STAR
WARS characters, and it was especially commissioned by George Lucas for
inclusion in a STAR WARS COMICS art book. I was pretty much given free
reign to draw whatever I wanted, so I tried to get as much in as I
could, telling a story through visuals alone. Other than a single
trading card depicting a Gamorrean Guard, this would be my only
published STAR WARS art.
1st printing. Star Wars and sequential art share a long history: Star
Wars debuted on the comic-book page in 1977, when Marvel Comics began
publishing an adaptation of the first film, which morphed into a monthly
comic book. Now, more than three decades later, Dark Horse Comics
continue to expand the Star Wars galaxy. 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 the comics, as well as new work created exclusively for this
book by over 20 renowned artists. Star Wars Art: Comics is a tribute to
sequential storytelling, a worthy and justly celebrated art form. Cover
by Dave Dorman. Foreword by Dennis O'Neil. Star Wars Art: Comics

New Art from Upcoming Star Wars Art: Comics Book July 18, 2011
Artist JH Williams III posted a new image from the upcoming Star Wars Art: Comics book (due out October 1, 2011) on his blog today.
From the artist’s blog:
I had been told that George was a longtime comics fan. So
I also wanted to go for this classic giant monster versus hero idea,
like stuff you might see in old Kirby comics, but here it needed to be a
mechanical weapon that looked like a creature, giving a sense of story
beyond fighting a giant monster.
Check out Williams’ full post including an expanded view of his stunning artwork here and learn more about Star Wars Art: Comicshere.
Abrams Books, publishers of the enthralling Star Wars Visions art book, is gathering together a new trove of Star Wars
art celebrating the comics medium, as curated by George Lucas. It is
due out later this year, and features a foreword by Dennis O'Neil and
an introduction by Virginia Mecklenburg, Senior Curator at the
Smithsonian American Art Museum.
