The first of two hardcover volumes collecting the precisely recreated original art from the 1997 manga adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope, with a new translation taken directly from the lettering on the boards.
The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope—The Manga, Volume 1 collects the first half of the adaptation in high-resolution reproductions of the original, unaltered art. The work is accompanied by an all-new translation of the authentic Japanese lettering, which itself was inspired by the alternate language dub that has been enjoyed by Japanese-speaking audiences for generations.
An extensive sketchbook section is included and, for the first time in English, the story is presented in the original right-to-left reading format.
This volume offers fans an opportunity to revisit the classic adventure through new eyes and in a fresh voice. Join Dark Horse and Lucasfilm to explore the creative journey of a novel view of a galaxy far, far away.
