ABOUT
Follow the path of Ahsoka Tano in the newest addition to the New York Times’ best-selling series, retelling the events of the hit Disney+ show in the classic meter of William Shakespeare. A said tale’s best for winter: I have one of Jedi and Empires. Join Ahsoka and her allies on a mission to stop the plans of Grand Admiral Thrawn in William Shakespeare’s Star Wars: Ahsoka’s Tale. This new entry in the New York Times’ best-selling William Shakespeare’s Star Wars series retells the events of season one of Ahsoka in the meter and style of the Bard. Designed to read like a classic Shakespearean play, including dialogue from each character in the show, stage directions, and plenty of Easter eggs, the book also features twenty richly inked illustrations that capture these iconic Star Wars characters in their Elizabethan period outfits. Exit, pursued by an Empire!
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
