Feel the Force at Leeds art gallery

Fans of The Force can battle it out to get their hands on an exclusive range of Star Wars artwork in Leeds today, as the fight against the evil Empire comes to the high street.

Ahead of the much anticipated release of The Force Awakens next month, publisher Washington Green, are releasing six striking Star Wars Marvel comic book covers as limited edition prints at Castle Galleries in Leeds.

Marvel’s Star Wars series, published between 1977-1986, was the first official comic book adaptation of Star Wars and proved a phenomenal success on its release.

Translated into limited edition art for the first time, the new works pay tribute to some of the franchise’s most memorable characters including Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.

Each piece of artwork is individually hand signed by legendary comic book writer Stan Lee.

Roy Pritchard, gallery manager for Leeds Castle Galleries, said: “With the much anticipated launch of The Force Awakens, we expect this series of signed limited edition works to fly off the shelves.

“It will appeal to both art collectors and fans of Star Wars alike – giving people a chance to own their own piece of comic book history.”
