We’ve already seen the painting of Luke Skywalker created for Star Wars #1, but today ROBOT 6 can exclusivelyreveal the Alex Ross Store variant for Star Wars: Darth Vader #1.
It’s fan-favorite Boba Fett as he was introduced in the infamous 1978 Star Wars Christmas Special, riding a Paar’s ichthyodont on the Mud Moon to find Luke Skywalker & Co., if only to gain their trust and uncover information for Darth Vader.Written by Kieron Gillen and illustrated by Salvador Larocca, Star Wars: Darth Vader #1 sports another, more widely available variant cover by Ross.
