Rolling Thunder takes a sweeping look at his designs (after all, a full look at his work would make for a publication a hundred times the size of this one) and provides fans with an opening glimpse into other areas he has worked in. This book is really for a deeper look into Dorman’s work beyond Star Wars, from film concept art to comic covers, to posters, to card designs, and so much more that will boggle your mind. There is an agreeable deep chapter dedicated to his Lucasfilm-related art, which includes prints, designs, and covers he has done for both Star Wars and Indiana Jones – some popular ones that have surfaced on the web that I am sure many are familiar with. Dorman has been well known to Star Wars fans (particularly those addicted to the expanded universe) for many years.

While I am also a Star Wars fan at heart, allow me to highlight first and foremost that this book is NOT all Star Wars stuff. The large hardcover book – suitable to be a coffee table book – covers a great deal of Dorman’s calling but is also a nice overview in how many geeks and fans of so many franchises have been touched by this man’s talent and genius over the years.
