Description

This original work from Greg Ruth's "The 52 Weeks Project: Star Wars" features a Stormtrooper holding a model of a TIE Fighter. Executed in graphite, each example in the series artfully meshes together two distinct elements from the Star Wars franchise into a single piece. This is a significant entry from the series as Ruth chose it to represent the series in promotional efforts. Both the white armored soldiers of the Galactic Empire known as Stormtroopers and the Imperial starfighter known as the TIE Fighter were introduced in George Lucas' 1977 movie that launched his world-famous science fiction franchise, Star Wars. About the Artist Greg Ruth has worked in the world of comic books for over 30 years and is best known for his work on various Star Wars projects for Dark Horse. He's also worked for DC Comics, Fantagraphics, the New York Times and book publishers including Harper Collins, Simon and Schuster and Hyperion. Ruth is also the author of the New York Times bestseller novel, The Lost Boy . About Star Wars The Star Wars franchise has been an important part of the popular culture landscape since the original Star Wars movie in 1977, but the franchise and the characters received a major boost over the past decade with the release of the final three films in the nine-part "Skywalker saga" that George Lucas set out to tell "A long time ago...". The Star Wars franchise received another boost due to the huge success of The Mandalorian on the Disney Plus streaming service shows. Additional Star Wars series have also streamed on Disney Plus, including The Book of Boba Fett, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka and The Acolyte, with much more still to come. Several new Star Wars movies are also in the works. There's no question that audiences are as hungry as ever for quality Star Wars material. Star Wars has a long history with comic books. Marvel's Star Wars title, the first issue of which actually came out before the first movie in 1977, was an important source of expanded adventures for the legions of Star Wars fans in the late 1970s and 1980s. The series ran for 107 issues plus a few annuals. The Star Wars license then spent a couple of decades at Dark Horse who turned out many of the best stories ever told in the franchise. The license returned to Marvel in 2015 with a new #1 that sold over a million copies. In 2022, Dark Horse resumed publishing Star Wars comics alongside Marvel.
