Every issue of ImagineFX is special to us, but after a month of keeping it under our hats, the ImagineFX team are giddy with delight to announce our Star Wars special! And for you lovely subscribers only, here is the tag-free Hidebrandt cover, soon to be droppping through your mailboxes.

Inside we've put together a fantastic collection of workshops and interviews with some of the key Star Wars artists throught the years, including Iain McCaig, Aaron McBride and Ralph McQuarrie... more details about this issue is here, but for now, CHECK OUT THAT COVER!

Me too. The force is strong in this one.

BerenN:

keep an eye out for on the home page for more information on that

Psst, that link goes to the forum not the home page.

How dare you say such things! There isn't even a link... now.

(As ever, thanks for your keen eyes.)

Silly Beren.

I went to enter the Blu Ray boxset competition but the link doesn't appear to work,

usually get mine two weeks after it comes out in europe, so around next Tuesday i'd say

(should be same-ish for canada and the states?)

A great issue, personally I would've liked to have seen Drew Struzan in this one, fair enough he's been in the mag before but so have the Hildebrandt's and a little on the Star Wars book series covers would've been good too. Like I said though these are my personal likes rather than criticisms as I appreciate the problem with Star Wars art is there's so much of it. Deciding what to include and what to leave out must've been a real headache for you all.
