Please don't not request to color my B&W artwork. Unfortunately, when you do that, it ends up on the web in a search for my name, looking like I did the color art. Thank you for your understanding.

Interests
I'm thrilled to announce my latest project.  Coming this September from Dark Horse Comics, THE STAR WARS #1, the first of eight issues that adapt George Lucas 1974 screenplay "THE STAR WARS".  

I saw STAR WARS in 1977 when I was seven years old, and it was probably the most formative experience of my childhood.  To draw a story written entirely by George Lucas, is a dream come true for me.  I still can't believe it!

The '74 draft is completely different from the original STAR WARS film, but has similar moments from all six of the SW films.  It's an amazing story, with more action, more drama, and more everything than the first film.  This screenplay would have been impossible to film back then,  which is in large part the reason for the revision to the story.  

The first preview page is in my gallery that introduces the main hero, Annikin Starkiller, the son of one of the last surviving Jedi.  

I look forward to sharing more art and updates with you!

Be sure to spread the word about this project!  And, express your interest to your retailer!  I'll let you know when the book is in the PREVIEWS catalog and available for pre-order.

Thanks!

yes, I took it down since working on THE STAR WARS. Just too much of a distraction. I hope to start having items for sale in there within the next month or so.

Thanks for your interest in my work!

Mike

fantastic quality to your work, the light and shadows and the basic superlative mastery of line and composition. your comic pages are like a series of finished paintings in their own genre! I am a fairly new fan of comic art and love your work.
