Kenner Star Wars variant comic book covers look so good you want to open them up!

Personal Comic CoversMarvel has brought us back to a time when we wanted to collect every variant cover of our favorite books.  From foil covers to holograms to lenticular images and even polybagged, it feels like the 90’s!  One cover variant in particular will interest any Kenner vintage Star Wars fan.  I am talking of course of the action figure variant covers.  Above are examples from my collection of the covers released so far.

These covers pay homage by replicating the look of a vintage Kenner Star Wars carded action figure.  Everything about these covers look good enough to hang on store pegs.  Artist John Tyler Christopher has done an amazing job bringing these covers to life and not missing a single detail.

So far we have had Luke Skywalker and Han Solo released for the Star Wars series #1 and #2 respectively.  Darth Vader’s was released in his own title series.  Also confirmed Obi-Wan Kenobi will be a variant for Star Wars #3 and Princess Leia Organa will be released as a variant for her self titled series.  Leia’s series will be released on March 4th, while Star Wars #3 will hit shelves March 11th.  I am personally hoping that at least the first 12 will be released.
