Description
The second of two hardcover volumes collecting the precisely recreated original art from the 1997 manga adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope, with a new translation taken directly from the lettering on the boards. In 1977, the world was changed by the release of George Lucas’s seminal science-fantasy epic. Fascinating characters, groundbreaking special effects, and breathtaking action affected audiences in ways that movies never had before and seldom have since. Twenty years later, renowned manga creator Hisao Tamaki adapted the films in his own singular style that allowed legions of Star Wars fans to enjoy their favorite story in an exciting new way. Now, Dark Horse has unearthed and meticulously reassembled Tamaki-sensei’s original art boards to chronicle and showcase the creation of a unique artifact of popular culture. The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope—The Manga, Volume 2 collects the second half of the story in high-resolution reproductions of the original, unaltered art. The story is presented in the original right-to-left format, unlike previous English translations. The work is accompanied by an all-new translation of the authentic Japanese lettering, which itself was inspired by the alternate language dub that has been enjoyed by Japanese-speaking audiences for generations. Also included is an in-depth interview with writer and artist Hisao Tamaki. This volume offers fans an opportunity to revisit the classic adventure through new eyes and in a fresh voice. Join Dark Horse and Lucasfilm to explore the creative journey of a novel view of a galaxy far, far away.
