Star Wars 40th Anniversary Covers (Part 2)
Over half of the 48 Star Wars 40th anniversary covers have been released so far. In an earlier posting, I showed the first 12 covers. Here are the second 12 covers, in their numbered order, not necessarily the order they were published:
Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #6b - Marvel Comics, U.S. (April 2017) 40th Anniversary variant - 13/48Star Wars: Poe Dameron #13b - Marvel Comics, U.S. (April 2017) 40th Anniversary variant - 14/48Star Wars #31c - Marvel Comics, U.S. (May 2017) 40th Anniversary variant - 15/48Rogue One: A Star Wars Story #1d - Marvel Comics, U.S. (April 2017) 40th Anniversary variant - 16/48Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #7b - Marvel Comics, U.S. (May 2017) 40th Anniversary variant - 17/48Star Wars: Poe Dameron #14b - Marvel Comics, U.S. (May 2017) 40th Anniversary variant - 18/48Star Wars: Darth Maul #4b - Marvel Comics, U.S. (June 2017) 40th Anniversary variant - 19/48Star Wars #32c - Marvel Comics, U.S. (June 2017) 40th Anniversary variant - 20/48Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #8b - Marvel Comics, U.S. (June 2017) 40th Anniversary variant - 21/48Star Wars: Poe Dameron #16b - Marvel Comics, U.S. (June 2017) 40th Anniversary variant - 22/48Star Wars: Darth Maul #5b - Marvel Comics, U.S. (July 2017) 40th Anniversary variant - 23/48Star Wars #33c - Marvel Comics, U.S. (July 2017) 40th Anniversary variant - 24/48
There are some really nice covers here. My favorite is Poe Dameron #16 because it does a terrific job of capturing Princess Leia's helplessness at the destruction of Alderaan from a unique point of view. My least favorite is Darth Maul #4. One of my favorite scenes in Star Wars is when Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the two Droids arrive at Docking Bay 94 and the battle that ensues. That would have been preferred over a boring picture of Han Solo pointing at Jabba the Hutt. This cover looks more like a cover drawn at a comic convention than a final piece.
