Star Wars: The High Republic #1 (2021) Swaby 1:25 Variant — CGC 9.6

CGC Universal Grade 9.6 (Near Mint+), white pages — slabbed and graded as shown. Book condition corresponds to a high-grade collectible copy; the label confirms “Swaby Variant Cover” and white page quality.

This is the 1:25 Swaby (Jesus 'Swaby' Swaby) variant cover of Star Wars: The High Republic #1 (Marvel, March 2021). Written by Cavan Scott with interior art by Ario Anindito & Mark Morales, and the striking cover artwork by Jesus Swaby. Variant is a 1:25 print ratio, making it a rarer retailer incentive variant compared with the standard cover.

Notable features and collectible value: features the first appearances of Keeve Trennis, Sleeker, Loden Greatstorm, Stellban Gios and Venestra Rwoh — key characters from the High Republic era that drive demand among collectors. The Swaby cover is visually distinctive and popular with collectors who focus on modern Star Wars variants and artist-driven covers. Slabbed CGC 9.6 at this variant ratio significantly increases desirability for completists, High Republic fans, and investors tracking first appearances.
