Classic Star Wars #9

Al Williamson's cover for this 1993 Dark Horse issue throws you right into the chaos, with Han Solo diving for cover, Chewbacca grappling with a fearsome green creature, Luke Skywalker wielding his lightsaber overhead, and an R2 unit tumbling through the mayhem amid ruins and heavy machinery. The scene teases "The Night Beast Pt. 2," written by Archie Goodwin and drawn by Williamson — a creative pairing that consistently brought real energy and craft to their Star Wars work. If you love adventure-packed storytelling rooted in the spirit of the original films, this one delivers.
