Original illustration by Gene and David Day based on Robert E. Howard’s poem, “The Ghost Kings,” from Dark Fantasy #16, published by Shadow Press, 1978.
GENE DAY:
(from the introduction to the Star Wars Portfolio, Aardvark Vanahiem, 1977) “In July of 1977 one of the biggest events of my life occured as I made my first venture into a theatre to see George Lucus’ Star Wars. I practically lived on the theatre for the next week, seeing the film over and over again – and I still have not seen a minute of it that I don’t love. I know for a fact that the film will always remain one of my all time favourites (most certainly the favourite of the s-f films I have seen). So naturally, when Deni [Loubert] approached me to do a folio on Star Wars, I was delighted to say the very least. The following collection is the product of three weeks time, how many hours I cannot begin to guess of sketching, planning and studying over a 150 black and white and colour photos for reference – and I still haven’t begun to comprehend full on paper that wonder and detail that is Star Wars. My only hope is that you will feel I have captured at least a bit of the atmosphere the film gave to you – and that it will bring back some happy moments before the screen. If I succeed in that much – then I have succeeded fully. This folio is dedicated to Mr. Lucus – thank you for it all, George. And May The Force Be With You.”
DAVE SIM:
(from Cerebus Bi-Weekly #1, December 1988) “The inside back cover of Cerebus 1 featured an ad for a Star Wars portfolio by Gene Day. When permission to do the portfolio was denied by Lucasfilms, all copies of the portfolio were destroyed except for Gene Day’s personal copies which are in the possession of the Gene Day Estate.”
Translation? you’ve never heard of it because Lucasfilms did not allow Gene Day to publish it. I will post the 10 plates next.
