WITH the upcoming blockbuster just weeks away, Star Wars fans should head down to the Canvas Gallery for a special surprise.

Made in collaboration with the Marvel creator Stan Lee, the unique pieces being displayed at the gallery on High Street have arrived in the city near-perfectly timed with the release of The Force Awakens.

Each piece is signed by Mr Lee, 92.

As a result prices start from just £695!

Owner of the gallery, Chris Mabire, 42 from Poole, is enjoying life in Winchester after opening the shop just three weeks ago.

He said the artwork was a real coup for the shop.

“Having the pieces all signed by Stan Lee is a great thing for us. He may not march on too much longer.

“Without him there would not be this massive behemoth of Marvel characters coming out of every cinema and TV, and now art galleries,” he added.
