Classic Star Wars #11

This eleventh chapter of Dark Horse's Classic Star Wars series brings Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson's beloved collaboration to a fever pitch, collecting strips centered on "The Power Gem." The cover by Allen Nunis sets a tense, kinetic scene — a cloaked figure reaching desperately toward a tumbling spacecraft while Darth Vader and a pair of dark, imposing figures loom threateningly in the background amid a tangle of machinery and blaster fire. It's a vivid snapshot of the high-stakes drama that made this newspaper-strip adaptation such a treat for fans in 1993.
