Modern Marvel

Star Wars #24 and 25 Mile High Comics Exclusives

Terry Dodson provided the cover artwork for the Mile High Comics exclusives for Star Wars #20 - 25.  The first four covers are drawings of soldiers of the Empire, but Star Wars #24 and 25, while similar in theme, instead feature our heroes.  Han Solo and Luke Skywalker donning Stormtrooper gear to rescue Princess Leia is one of many iconic moments of the original movie.  Dodson provides two gorgeous covers depicting the duo wearing the disguises.

Dodson draws Han with a cocky smile holding the handcuffs they used on Chewbacca to sneak into the Detention Block on the cover of Star Wars #24.  Behind Han is Chewbacca, no doubt roaring with happiness to finally have his hands free.

Dodson's cover for Star Wars #25 shows a serious Luke conferring with C-3PO on his mic.  Behind Luke is Leia holding a blaster and ready for action.

Terry Dodson has a clean art style that I'm really fond of.  He drew the Princess Leia mini-series in 2015 and has provided several variant covers for the Star Wars line of books.  He has proven to be adept at drawing the characters, with his depiction of Leia being one of my favorites, and I would love for Marvel to assign him more Star Wars interior work.
