Join Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, and all the classic New Hope heroes and villains as Japanese great Tamaki Hisao (Breaker!) transforms the Star Wars universe into a manga adventure series like the world has never seen. Taken directly from George Lucas' script for Episode IV of Star Wars, and embellished with scenes from the novelization, A New Hope -- Manga brings the best of both worlds to fans of the Star Wars universe and fans of the art of Japanese cartooning -- manga!
"This book is going to knock the socks off of everyone," promised Dave Land, editor of the series. "I was amazed when I first read it because I'm very familiar with the New Hope story and yet this was a completely fresh and vibrant telling of that tale. I think a lot of people will be surprised."
Star Wars: A New Hope -- Manga #1 introduces this four-part series to English audiences July 8. Each 96-page issue of the black and white series by Tamaki Hisao features cover art by Dirty Pair creator Adam Warren, and is available for a retail price of $9.95.
