With the Star Wars frenzy of Rogue One buzzing in cinemas, Marvel joins in on the Disney orgy with variant covers celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Star Wars franchise.

Marvel will be releasing special variant covers depicting various scenes from Star Wars: A New Hope — the film that started it all in 1977 — in honour of its milestone anniversary. The covers, 48 in total, will be illustrated by some of the industry’s most gifted artists, and come complete with a new logo and border treatment.
