Legendary Japanese illustrator Tsuneo Sanda has made an urgent announcement ahead of FedCon 34 in Bonn: author Matthew Tower will be joining him at his booth throughout the weekend (23rd-24th May). This marks a special collaboration for Sanda, who was responsible for all the illustrations in Tower’s book, Love Wars. The pair created the project together, and fans attending the German convention now have a rare opportunity to meet both the artist and the author in person.
While Love Wars is not an official Star Wars title, it is heavily infused with Sanda’s trademark style and is packed with numerous Star Wars references that will immediately resonate with fans. The story follows a young boy named Matthew whose world is upended by his parents’ bitter custody battle. Desperate for a way out, Matthew finds inspiration in his hero, Luke Skywalker, and launches a daring mission to end his parents’ “war of vengeance.” The whimsical narrative even features a “Divorce War Death Star” that Matthew must navigate with the help of his little brother, Thomas Rabbit.
Fans interested in seeing how Sanda’s iconic aesthetic translates to this imaginative, galaxy-inspired family drama should be sure to visit their booth at the Maritim Hotel Bonn starting 22nd May.
