From ancient Jedi to alien worlds, from fantastic creatures to faster-than-light spaceships, no other publisher has produced so many dazzling images from our generation's greatest mythology.

...as i say, its a nice book with some great images. The only thing that bugged me was that I have seen better images on the net from comics than what was in the pages of this book. At the start of each chapter there are thumbnails of characters from numerous styles and comics, but in the chapters these images arnt inside...i thought they would at least put the larger whole images of those in the thumbnails in the chapter???? over all its nice for star wars fans and colour/action references...my real vote is 2 1/2 but there is no option for that so i chose a 3.

This is a collection of Dark Horses covers and posters mostly and some panels inside. This is a very good artbook to purchase for those who enjoy great art. I myself am not a Starwars fan but i love this book for the artwork.

Length:: 0:16 Mins

This book has plenty to like even for someone who has never read the original Star Wars comics from Dark Horse Comics. The glorious covers are printed on thick white low gloss paper. It's strange that there isn't a hardcover version of the book.

While some comic panels are included, the bulk of the book are on cover art, glorious cover art. Every piece is reproduced brilliantly. Lots of artists have contributed to make for a wonderful variety of artistic style. Every page is captioned.

The illustrations are categorised as follow: Heroes and Allies, Villians and Rogues, The Jedi, Spaceships, The Worlds of Star Wars. At the back is the list of artists involved.

This is a visually tasty art book.
