FS Four vintage 1978 Star Wars Lithographs by artists Joe Johnston and Ralph McQuarrie. The so-called Supersnipe prints.
These prints have some historical significance in the SW universe.
These prints were offered for sale at the Supersnipe Comic Art Gallery in 1978. Supersnipe was a New York based gallery co-owned by Star Wars writer and director George Lucas. In 1978 the gallery ran an exhibition of original Star Wars artwork. At the same time these prints were offered for sale. They were produced in limited numbers, it is now thought that 100 were signed and 100 were unsigned. Some were sold at the time and the remaining were put into storage. A few have surfaced from time to time since.
I've been looking for these prints for years. Not only were they the very first prints ever made of the art from Star Wars they are by far the best quality prints ever made then or since, being produced by offset litho printing process on 100lb coated linen stock paper. They were also produced under the supervision of the artists Ralph McQuarrie and Joe Johnston. The colour and detail is second to none, the size is 24" x 18".
I have been extremely fortunate to acquire the remaining prints which have been in storage since 1978, through the estate of the gallery co-owner Ed Summers. Sadly Ed died at the end of last year after battling cancer. I am keeping some & putting others up FS.
Full sets of these prints rarely come up for sale, individual prints pop up from time to time but they are normally water damaged from a flood at the gallery or they are extremely expensive:

And FS at the Propstore:

All four are in excellent condition with only the smallest amount of edge wear and the only foxing is on some of the Vader/Starkiller prints.
Sets are FS at £500 shipped in a poster tube via RMSD next day service.
Here are the prints:
