“The Empire Strikes Back Chapter Five: Betrayal at Bespin”

Cloud City's gleaming spires set a deceptively beautiful stage on this January 1981 cover, where Han Solo and Princess Leia — blasters drawn and backed by Chewbacca — face down a caped Lando Calrissian, with Imperial officers ominously present in the background. The bold "Betrayal at Bespin!" banner says everything you need to know about the tension crackling across this scene. Cover art by Al Williamson and Carlos Garzón brings a cinematic elegance to Marvel's continuing adaptation of The Empire Strikes Back, with Archie Goodwin guiding the story inside.
