A special "Chaykin" Comic-Con one-sheet made for the promotion of George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. Howard Chaykin was commissioned by 20th Century Fox to illustrate a Star Wars-centric comic book series, which led to his designing this colorful vintage poster. Though not the official theatrical poster, this style of poster-now known as the "Chaykin"- is considered the first-ever Star Wars poster, with copies sold for around a dollar at San Diego Comic-Con in 1976.

This full-color one-sheet comes from the collection of Return of the Jedi producer Howard Kazanjian. It is in excellent overall condition with only light creasing and edge wear from being rolled for storage. Dimensions: 29" x 20" (73.75 cm x 51 cm)

Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000
