Star Wars III Graphic Novel Coming Soon

Lucasfilm has announced that since the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Art Deparment has created several galleries-worth of breathtaking artwork, most of which will never see publication…until now.

Dark Horse Comics and the concept artists behind “Episode III” are teaming to produce a graphic novel called “Star Wars: Visionaries,” a collection of 12 tales told by the artists that helped envision the worlds, creatures, technologies and characters of “Revenge of the Sith”.

The new book features the art of Robert Barnes, Ryan Church, Warren Fu, Alex Jaeger, Sang Jung Lee, Stephan Martiniere, Aaron McBride, Iain McCaig, Michael Murnane, Erik Tiemens, Derek Thompson, and Feng Zhu, and is edited by Jeremy Barlow.

These new stories will showcase new designs from the artists most responsible for the dazzling imagery in “Revenge of the Sith”. It is slated for publication April 2005, and will be about 120 pages.

This will definetly be a good coffee table book for any Star Wars collector.
