He has created artwork for comic, book and game publishers, including Batman for DC Comics and the Indiana Jones and Star Wars series’ for Dark Horse Comics. His work is also showcased in the Bram Stoker nominated, illustrated novel Dead Heat from MoJo Press, and a book collection of his art, Star Wars: The Art of Dave Dorman.
He has been associated with Star Wars for many years now and in an interview he did back in 2010 with thegeektwins.com, he talked about how that connection with Star Wars began:”I started doing Dark Horse Comics covers for Indiana Jones, and when I heard they got the Star Wars license, I asked to be cover artist and they granted me that opportunity, for which I will always be grateful. Lucasfilm really liked the work I did for Indiana Jones, and that kicked off my relationship with them. When I asked to do the Star Wars covers, there were no objections on their side.”
