Star Wars #14

The entire rebel crew charges into action on this 1978 Marvel cover — Luke Skywalker brandishing his lightsaber, Han Solo and Princess Leia firing blasters, Chewbacca looming large overhead with weapons raised, and C-3PO alongside R2-D2 bringing up the right flank. Penciled by Carmine Infantino and inked by Terry Austin, the composition crackles with kinetic energy, and that cover blurb — "At Last! Beyond the Movie! Beyond the Galaxy!" — perfectly captures the excitement of Archie Goodwin's series striking out into wholly original territory. "The Sound of Armageddon!" promises exactly the kind of all-hands adventure this ensemble deserves.
