Star Wars #24

Marvel's Star Wars series ventures into untold territory with issue #24, subtitled "Silent Drifting," promising an all-new tale spotlighting Ben Kenobi fighting alone. Carmine Infantino and Bob Wiacek deliver a tense cover scene: a robed, white-bearded Ben Kenobi stands resolute at center, gripping a bladed weapon, flanked by C-3PO, a green-skinned alien, and an aggressive human opponent pressing in from the right with weapons drawn. It's a compelling 1979 snapshot of the Marvel Star Wars universe stepping confidently beyond the film to explore one of its most compelling figures.
