STAR WARS: EPISODE IV - A NEW HOPE (1977) - Dave Jones Collection: "Chaykin" Comic-Con Special Poster - A "Chaykin" Comic-Con special poster made for the promotion of George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. Howard Chaykin was commissioned by 20th Century Fox to illustrate a Star Wars-centric comic book series, which led to his designing this colorful vintage poster featuring characters such as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader. Though not the official theatrical poster, this style of poster-now known as the "Chaykin"- is considered the first-ever Star Wars poster, with copies sold for around a dollar at San Diego Comic-Con in 1976.

The poster comes from the collection of veteran model maker Dave Jones. It exhibits pinholes in the corners, some creasing and edge tears from being rolled for storage, and tape residue on the reverse. Dimensions: 29" x 20" (74 cm x 51 cm)

Estimate: $3,000 - 6,000
