A special STAR WARS WEEK edition of the Week’s Best VARIANTS!
It seems like there are more Marvel Star Wars #1 variants than there are star systems in the galaxy. Marvel’s got their own “official” ones but then there are the retailer exclusives. The artists could all probably make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs but we think there are 13 that deserve their own medal ceremony*:
John Tyler Christopher
Alex Ross
Alex Maleev, for Warp 9 Comics in Michigan
Daniel Acuna, for Heroes & Fantasies in San Antonio
Hasbro, for New York Toy Fair
Mike Perkins, for Heroes’ Haven in Tampa
Joe Quinones, for Kings Comics in Sydney, Australia
Pasqual Ferry, for ThinkGeek
Joe Quesada wraparound
David Petersen, for Newbury Comics in Boston
Greg Horn, for GameStop
Normally, I don’t do photo covers but I’m making an exception here!

* I don’t like running incomplete covers, i.e. those without full trade dress. And I don’t like running smaller, blurry or watermarked scans. But dang it, I tried finding good scans of every one of these but the Force wasn’t always with me.
