The year is 1940. Most of the Western world is embroiled in a war against a fascist regime whose march across Europe shows no sign of defeat. With the specter of global war looming, it’s a time of fear and paranoia for those living in Gotham. It’s only been a few months since the city was rescued from undead monsters by the masked vigilante known as The Bat-Man, but a vicious killer has been on a murder spree that’s taking the city to its breaking point. Bodies are turning up in theatrically gruesome ways… all staged with the killer’s calling card: a hangman’s noose. While The Bat-Man endeavors to solve the spate of murders, a young reporter from the Daily Star named Lois Lane arrives in Gotham. Meant to cover a movie premiere, it doesn’t take long for Lane to find herself caught in the grips of a new villain in Gotham. One whose mastery of fear will plunge the city into chaos!

As head of security at the upscale Thai resort Koh Kingfisher, Rook has access to absolutely everything. From his office, he can punch into any closed-circuit camera on the island and see what all the guests are up to — and trust us, he’s seen it all. Or so he thought.
When Madeline arrives, she instantly captures Rook’s attention — and she just as quickly catches on to his game. Madeline not only picks up on the fact that he’s spying on her, but when she confronts him about his little hobby, she realizes he’s not exactly who he says he is. She knows Rook is at the resort to rob it of all its valuable art, and Madeline wants in.

Lucas Wars HC

Translated by Jeremy Melloul
Art by Renaud Roche
Cover Art by Roche
ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL
Rebellious child who cheated death. Indomitable visionary. And mastermind behind one of the world’s most enduring fandoms: Star Wars.
In a tale befitting the saga he created, Lucas Wars follows George Lucas’s journey from aimless dreamer to filmmaking trailblazer and prodigy of the New Hollywood movement. While his fellow rising stars — directors like Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, and Martin Scorsese — craft The Godfather, Jaws, and Taxi Driver, Lucas follows his childhood dreams and begins work on an epic fantasy… which, he soon discovers, is not without its epic challenges.
Writer Laurent Hopman and artist Renaud Roche dive deep into the creative process behind Star Wars: A New Hope, from the hell of casting to the nightmare of filming. Lucas is forced to juggle actor quarrels, a secret love affair, costume and set mishaps, and constant pushback from film execs. But despite it all, a landmark movie emerges — one that changes the medium of film forever.
Lucas Wars is an exhilarating underdog story and a unique glimpse into the world of cinema. But most of all, it’s an ode to the magic of childhood and the value of perseverance.
