Who doesn’t love crossovers? I couldn’t get enough of those old Avengers comics when a special guest-star might drop in -- sometimes Spider-Man, maybe the FF or the Defenders.  And if you read comics in the ‘80s, you can almost guarantee that Wolverine was bound to drop in.

To be honest, Wolverine guest-starred in so many books in crossover stories that I just can’t conceive of a crossover without him. In all fairness, could there be a more epic throwdown in a Star Wars/Marvel crossover than the Sith Lord vs our beloved, vertically-challenged mutant? I don’t think so!

(well, Doom vs Vader is a pretty damn close second)

CGC-graded at a 9.6, this sketch variant to Darth Vader issue # 1 brings us right to what looks like the beginning of a Battle for the Ages!

For all the fans of these two properties, then this piece of original art is everything a follower of the Force or a child of the Atom would crave for his or her collection.
