GIMENEZ Lot n° 141

JUAN GIMENEZ STAR WARS Doctor Aphra, Marvel 2017 Original cover (known as alternative) of the 40th Anniversary edition accompanied by its preparatory stages. Signed. Mixed media on paper 28.2 × 41 cm (11.1 × 16.14 in.) Star Wars, a science fiction film saga created in 1977 by George Lucas, is one of the few creations of the twentieth century to have been elevated to myth. It is above all a masterful synthesis of the great adventure and science fiction stories that are summed up by the struggle between good and evil in all its ambiguity: its central character, Anakin Skywalker, reaches the dark side of the Force to become Darth Vader, before then experiencing redemption. A christic resurrection in a way. Juan Gimenez, with his art of an incredible evocative power, draws the portrait of his main antagonist, Darth Vader, for the cover of a series of comics, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, featuring a criminal archeologist who also finds herself on the edge between good and evil.
