Mike Mayhew

"The first thing I thought after reading George's script was, "This would make a perfect comic script as is!" George's script was very, very complete and well thought out. It's amazing how much work and detail he put into making the draft a complete film. In fact, there's a lot more going on in this draft, with the characters, settings, and storylines."

- Mike Mayhew, about The Star Wars

Mike Mayhew is an American comic book artist who illustrated The Star Wars, Dark Horse's comics adaptation of George Lucas's 1974 rough draft for Star Wars. He considers this draft as an Apocalypse Now version of the Star Wars saga.

Mayhew has also provided a variant cover for the first issue of Marvel Comics' 2015 Star Wars comic series, which is based on Rob Liefeld's cover for The New Mutants #98, as well as for the first and third issues of Star Wars: Lando. Moreover, he has drawn the Yesteryear Comics variant to the first issue of Marvel's miniseries Star Wars: Shattered Empire.
