Star Wars #19

This 1998 German-language edition from Egmont Ehapa's Feest Comics line opens the arc "Die dunkle Seite der Macht" with a brooding cover by Mathieu Lauffray that sets a menacing tone. An Imperial AT-AT walker strides through a crimson-hazed battlefield while a dark, shadowy cloaked figure looms ominously in the background, and two intense, weathered faces — blaster at the ready — dominate the foreground. It's a compelling visual promise of the dark-side tensions explored in this collaboration between writers Timothy Zahn and Mike Baron, with interior art by Terry Dodson and inks by Kevin Nowlan.
