Star Wars #12

Hugh Fleming's painted cover for this 1996 German edition pulls you right into the action, depicting Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia poised back-to-back with blasters drawn, a looming alien figure behind them and a fallen Stormtrooper in the foreground. Published by Egmont Ehapa as Band 12, this volume collects "Die neuen Abenteuer des Luke Skywalker, Teil I" with interior work from the creative team of Alan Dean Foster, Chris Sprouse, and Terry Austin. A great entry point into the German-language Star Wars comics of the mid-1990s.
