The vast expanded universe of Star Wars has become the home of many writers and artists. One of those artists is the talented Kellie Strom who illustrated a little story called “Fortune, Fate, and the Natural History of the Sarlacc.”

The story appeared in Star Wars: Tales #6, which was later collected in Star Wars: Tales Volume 2. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, much of the artwork is available online and we have gathered it here for your viewing pleasure. Take a walk with us through the Roqoo Depot Galleria as we view the splendid work of Kellie Strom.

“In a fit of madness I decided to render all the artwork in acrylic, rather than do computer colouring, the normal practice for these comics. Along the way I got to paint Jabba the Hutt, Boba Fett, Stormtroopers, Dewbacks and Jawas.” -Kellie Strom

“The dewbacks were very enjoyable to do, especially as I found great reference in the creature designs wonderfully drawn by Terryl Whitlatch, shown on the official Star Wars site.” -Kellie Strom

“I also got to design a new character that Mark Schultz had dreamed up, Grubbat Fhilch, as well as a couple of new creatures found on the planet Tatooine, a bony vulture and a giant three-headed spider!” -Kellie Strom

“The main subject however, was the life cycle of the Sarlacc as it grew from spore to parasitic larva, then metamorphosed into an adult creature.” -Kellie Strom

If you’re interested in owning the original artwork, there is a site were you can buy the pages. Be warned, the price ranges from $1,000 to $1,200 dollars.
