Get ready! We are building toward some incredible climaxfulness! Iwas recently going through some current Dark Horse Star Wars comics and was looking at the cover art, of which—being a graphic artist myself—1 am always a big fan. Looking at the Knights ofthe Old Repiche covers, 1 think the word-balloon covers were fantastic (very clas sic pop art colors and style—Warhol would be proud), specifically #16, #22, and #24 were some of my favor- DARK HORSE comics 10956 SE Main St. MitwauKie, OR 97222 STARWARS@DARKHORSE.COM DARKHORSE.COM/BOARDS/INDEX.PHP. Ididn’'t play the Knights of the Old Republic game, but I've been reading the comics since the series’ beginning in 2006. Sometimes the story has been a little slow... but it’s getting faster paced now with the death of Rana Tey and the “Vector” arc, So, I'm really enjoying the latest issues! I loved the final page of KotOR #1. 1 think it is one of those moments in Star Wars that really surprise you—like Vader telling Luke that he is his father. The inal scene when Zayne sees the Padawans slaughtered "by their Masters is one of the best moments in any Siar jars comic; and the explanation why it happened is ite covers ever! Great work by Colin Wilson! Iwas happy still better tobe able to download the artwork for one ofthem from your site as computer wallpaper (unfortunately without the balloons, but still great art!). I would gladly hang any of those three pieces as artwork in myhome. dab vecton now that Tknow the direction—1 eis it!

Thank you for your appreciation! I have to admit, ome of my favorite things to see come through the door are our various covers. Travis Charest was the cover artist for KotOR #2 (on all KotOR #1-6, actually). In the original issue #2, the cover is incorrecily credited to Brian Ching. So sorry, Travis! didhe also do the h cover for #2?
