Darth Vader dominates this 1980 cover — lightsaber in hand, cape sweeping wide, with an Imperial fleet arrayed in space behind him and a small inset panel of C-3PO and R2-D2 in the upper corner — signaling that Marvel's official comics adaptation of The Empire Strikes Back begins here. The cover art by Al Williamson and Carlos Garzón captures the menace and scale of the film with striking confidence. At fifty cents, this was an exciting way for fans to follow the galaxy's most anticipated space adventure in a new medium.
