Review
Dorman's art has been a primary feature of Star Wars books and CDs: this gathers all of his works based on the Star Wars theme and will appeal to any fan of Star Wars. Relish full-page, clear color illustrations embellished with Dorman's own reflections on his achievements and inspirations. -- Midwest Book Review
About the Author
Dave Dorman, like Madonna, was born in Bay City, Michigan in the late 1950's. Being a "military brat," he grew up as a surfer kid in Hawaii, as well as a high school football star in Maryland. A scifi fan, Dave drove five hours round trip to see Star Wars on opening day in 1977, and has never been the same.
After a stint in college, then at the Joe Kubert School, Dave began his career as a professional illustrator in 1983 creating covers for Heavy Metal magazine. As the comics industry expanded, Dave was hired to do covers for many major publishers, as well as work for games, magazines and books. He is also noted for his Batman, Aliens, Predator and Indiana Jones artwork.
In 1990, Dave was assigned a dream project by Dark Horse comics. He was to illustrate the covers to Dark Empire; a new Star Wars mini-series which picked up where the Return of the Jedi left off. Since then, Dave has become an in-demand artist on numerous Star Wars projects. This book,Star Wars The Art Of Dave Dorman, summarizes his Star Wars Work.

An excellent art book for Star Wars and Comic Cover fans,
By
This review is from: Star Wars: The Art of Dave Dorman (FPG art books) (Paperback)
This review may be a few years too late, but felt this book and the artist deserved a fairer and longer review than the ones here. Dave Dorman is one of a few artists creating his visions of the Star Wars universe for the covers of Star Wars Paperbacks, comics, magazines and CD covers. And it is stunning.Many of the prints of the covers are sought after with print runs finished. It is excellent value and wonderful to be able to have them all in one book, without title type and foil packaging ruining the artwork. Not only do you get the published covers in one convenient place, but also unpublished works you won't get elsewhere, variations of works to meet briefs, and better yet, sketches and the work process of the artist, always important in this sort of book. Bottom line, it's a terrific book for fans of comic book cover art, and if you're a combination art and star wars fan a must buy!
