Star Wars #17

Luke Skywalker looks wide-eyed and off-balance on this moody painted cover, caught between a heavily armed, masked soldier looming in the foreground and additional armed figures in the rocky, snow-dusted terrain behind him — the tagline "Watch Your Step, Luke Skywalker!" says it all. The atmospheric cover art by Victor Manuel Leza gives the scene a tense, cinematic quality that suits Dark Horse's grounded approach to the Star Wars universe. Brian Wood's run continues here, with art from Stéphane Créty and inks by Julien Hugonnard-Bert bringing the story to life inside.
