Star Wars #100

Reaching its 100th issue milestone in 1985, Marvel's Star Wars celebrated with this special double-sized edition featuring a sweeping cover by Tom Palmer that assembles the full ensemble — Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO — against a cosmic backdrop filled with X-wings, TIE fighters, Stormtroopers, and the Millennium Falcon. The montage composition captures the sprawling, lived-in energy of the Rebellion's ongoing struggle, with each character rendered with a portrait-like warmth. With interior story "First Strike" crafted by writer Jo Duffy and artist Cynthia Martin, this landmark issue is a genuine celebration of everything that made the series a long-running fan favorite.
