The cover says it all — Darth Vader and a young rebel combatant clash lightsabers in a burst of blazing energy, their duel rendered with crackling intensity by cover artists Al Williamson and Carlos Garzón. This 1981 Marvel issue marks the concluding chapter of the official comics adaptation of The Empire Strikes Back, and the tagline "Duel a Dark Lord!" perfectly captures the high stakes on display. C-3PO and R2-D2 keep watch from a small inset panel in the corner, a quiet reminder of the larger galaxy at stake in this dramatic finale.
