George Lucas’s futuristic-looking art museum finally treats comic books like fine art

George Lucas / Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.

Star Wars creator George Lucas was greeted by huge queues, chants of his name and a standing ovation at his first appearance at Comic-Con International in San Diego yesterday. But he wasn't there to talk about Star Wars or Indiana Jones. The panel was dedicated entirely the long-awaited Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.

Lucas appeared alongside rapper-actress Queen Latifah, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and the film designer and artist Doug Chiang to provide a first look at what will be inside the LA museum. He also made an impassioned argument for the project's objective: to cement the validity of comic book art as a form of expression (for your own work, see our guides to the best digital art software and the best drawing tablets).
