Though Han Solo's life in the cinematic version of the Star Wars saga was always full of derring-do and dangerous pursuit, what abut the adventures he and Chewbacca shared both prior to and after the Classic Trilogy? Fans thirst for these inspiring tales would be satiated happily from the get-go via Marvel Comics, who soon launched the crew of the trusty Millennium Falcon into all new directions in 1978 after their initial six-issue 1977 adaptation of the original film (like the above all-new adventure Shadeshine!, from one of the company's 'King-size' Annuals of 1982). So too did popular US sci-fi/fantasy author Brian Daley, who'd pen three of the most influential and successful books for the characters that, for many readers, have yet to be equaled.
Find out more about the amazing and capable women whom Han allied, wooed and admired, the many diverse, cunning adversaries he and Chewie fought, and the epic space journeys undertaken from 'one side of the galaxy to the other' inside the encompassing Expanded Universe, via the all-new pop culture celebration of our legendary Corellian adventurer and self-made man that is Star Wars Icons - Han Solo, the truly lavish and highly informative new coffee table book from Ilex Press, written by Gina McIntyre, available in the UK from November 27th, 2018.
Here's the advance book release information:
Smuggler. Rogue. Hero of the Rebellion. Scruffy-looking nerf herder.
Han Solo has been called all these things and more since making his debut in the original Star Wars film back in 1977. Four decades later, the irrepressible Solo continues to be one of the most iconic and enduring elements of the saga.
Star Wars Icons: Han Solo covers the character's entire journey, from his genesis in George Lucas's first drafts of Star Wars to Harrison Ford's iconic performances in the original three films and The Force Awakens, and the character's rebirth in Solo: A Star Wars Story. The book also takes an in-depth look at Solo's role in the Star Wars universe, through novels, comics, video games, and more, and the indelible impression the character has made on pop culture.
Illustrated with a treasure trove of rare and previously unseen imagery, including candid on-set photography and stunning concept art, this deluxe volume also features exclusive new interviews with Harrison Ford, Alden Ehrenreich, Mark Hamill, Billy Dee Williams, Peter Mayhew, Ron Howard, J. J. Abrams, Lawrence Kasdan, Jonathan Kasdan, and many more key creatives.
Comprehensive and revelatory, this is the definitive book for Han Solo fans across the galaxy.
