Star Wars #31

The four-part "Hunt for Aurra Sing" arc reaches its conclusion with this 2001 Dark Horse issue, and Jon Foster's cover makes a striking final statement: the pale, shaven-headed bounty hunter Aurra Sing looms predatorily over a masked, dark-clad opponent pinned beneath her, a red lightsaber visible at hand — all tension and dominance rendered in moody, painterly tones. Tim Truman's script, brought to life by artist Davide Fabbri and inker Christian Dalla Vecchia, promises a suitably intense payoff to the chase. If you've been following this arc, issue #31 is the one you've been waiting for.
