I love Dorman's Star Wars art so much. I've only got a tiny Han Solo head from an art book I had him sign at a show. Got to him too late for a commission. That sketch cover looks great.

Great thread. I'll post my most unusual CGC SS Star Wars book-

Colin Trevorrow was supposed to write/direct Episode IX: Duel of the Fates. He signed this book in June 2017, three months before he got taken off the project and replaced.

That is for sure a unique Star Wars signature!

Star Wars #63 was a pivotal book for me growing up.  I had a copy at my grandmother's house, and when we'd visit I'd find where I stashed it (hidden from all my cousins) and read and re-read as Luke partnered with Chewie to infiltrate an Imperial base shaped like a huge alien bug!  The issue has humor, drama, and it was great to see Luke partnered with Chewie for a change.  And Chewie is the hero too!  But the kicker was always the dynamic cover, by the great artist Tom Palmer.  I think this cover ranks near the top in terms of Vader versus Luke images.  And this was waaaaay back when it was just one SW book a month being produced.  Now, we are spoiled with multiple amazing SW covers every month.  So this cover always spurred my imagination.  

I was eventually able to get a copy signed by the great Tom Palmer and here it is!  (thumbsu He was the inker on the original Star Wars #1 too, so I was able to get him to paint an original Darth Vader on a blank comic.  It's one of my most cherished comics ever, and here it is as well.  :cloud9:
