Star Wars #1 is off to a good start. The first two printings sold out, and collectors have no shortage of variant covers to chose from. But with all the flurry of news, just how many covers are there? Well, the answer is six (so far). We decided to put together a gallery of the covers and cover art to give everyone a visual reference on what’s out there, and what’s to come.

Notes: Star Wars #1 first printing was released January 9, 2013. Second printing was released February 6th. The third printing will be released on February 27th.

The Star Wars #1 sketch cover will be released in limited quantities alongside Star Wars #4 on April 10th (Star Wars #2, 3, and 4 will get the same treatment, each with a sketch cover variant and being released with Star Wars #5, 6, and 7 respectively).

The Hastings cover was available at Hastings retails stores and online through their website (they’re sold out now). It was released at the same time as the normal cover (Jan 9).

The GameStop cover variant will be available through GameStop’s PowerUp Rewards program. There will be 3,000 available copies and they’ll require 9,920 points.
