that's a beautiful cover, but it'll most likely be priced at $50+

I recall some interview of Alex Ross, in a Wizard magazine, like a gazillion years ago, and he stated that he would never illustrate something like "star wars" or vampirella, or (by that time) Kyle Rayner or long haired Aquaman.

I guess he needed a few bucks.

@Elbarto63

exactly, he also said he would never draw "Transformers", he didn´t see the appeal :) hehe man got bills to pay

Yup, I read that too, way back when. But I think Ross's issue was with the extended universe comics of the time, rather than "the real Star Wars." Alex Ross has never been shy about expressing his disgust for anything and everything that was created after he was a kid.

Never been a fan of Alex Ross. I know the artwork looks real, but it always feels disjointed or out of place from the original source. Like yeah I know his super hero art looks like it could be thrown into the silver age of comics, but I would feel more connected to it if it looked recent and not dated.

Maybe I just don't get the hype surrounding him, but I would rather see something that didn't look like it was set in the 1930s.
