Description
Ken Barr Questar #1 Star Wars Cover Painting, Study, and Design Sketches Original Art and Magazine Group of 6 (William G. Wilson Jr., 1978). Star Wars: Episode IV ("A New Hope") was a year old at this point, and it would be another two years before Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. William Wilson kicked off his new sci-fi themed magazine with a huge coup: a Ken Barr painted cover offering many of the main characters from the beloved movie franchise. Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, R2-D2, C-3PO, Obi-Wan, and Darth Vader are all present -- even Luke's landspeeder is featured. A stunning piece to be sure, and this group lot is even more stunning in that it includes three of the preliminary ink sketches Barr created and then melded together into the first painted study. These all measure 8.5" x 11", with the sketches on paper, and the acrylic painted study on Bristol board (and signed in the lower left). The three sketches are all featured inside the magazine and there is even a copy of the magazine included in this lot. The final painting was created in oil and has a matted image area of 19" x 27". It is UV glass front framed to 25.5" x 33.25". All are in Excellent condition.Lookup the Comic Book in our Guide
