Dark Horse Previews ‘The Star Wars’ # 1
George Lucas’ original, unfilmed version of Star Wars is getting visual life thanks to Dark Horse Comics. Check out these preview pages from ‘The Star Wars’ #1!
Den of Geek Reports…
Dark Horse Comics is bringing George Lucas’ original vision for Star Wars to the comics page. And, as you’re about to see, it’s a version unlike any you’ve ever seen before. You see, THIS Star Wars isn’t a matter of Special Editions, prequels, or who shot first. This is based on the early drafts of the Star Wars screenplay…most of which never made it to the screen. And the stuff that did was in a drastically altered form.
Now, Dark Horse has provided seven preview pages from this ambitious project, to give us a glimpse of a Star Wars comic unlike any they’ve ever published in their long, storied history as four-color custodians of the Star Wars legacy. The Star Wars #1 hits shops on September 4th, and is written by J.W. Rinzler with art by Mike Mayhew, and colors by Rain Beredo and Brad Anderson. Enjoy these pages, and may the force be with you…wait…will they even say that in this one?

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
