Star Wars #3

The third chapter of Dark Horse's "Prelude to Rebellion" arc arrives with a striking Ken Kelly cover that commands immediate attention. A sleek, battle-worn combat droid brandishes a lightsaber with cold precision while a cloaked, alien figure recoils beneath it — all set against a swirling, atmospheric backdrop that feels genuinely ominous. With Jan Strnad writing and Anthony Winn on interior art, this 1999 series was clearly aiming to bring something fresh and visually distinctive to the Star Wars expanded universe.
