Star Wars: The Art of Dave Dorman

In 1996, Friedlander Publishing Group released a single oversized issue of Star Wars: The Art of Dave Dorman, a showcase for the acclaimed painter’s vivid, cinematic takes on the galaxy far, far away. Unlike a narrative comic, this volume collects Dorman’s iconic licensed illustrations—from striking character portraits to atmospheric scenes—highlighting his masterful use of light and texture. It remains a definitive artifact of the Star Wars expanded universe’s ’90s visual identity, cementing Dorman’s role as one of the franchise’s most celebrated cover artists.
