“Resurrection of Evil”

Marvel's Star Wars #51 from September 1981 brings "Resurrection of Evil" to life with a Walter Simonson cover that crackles with tension — a rebel pilot in orange flight gear fires desperately upward at a looming Imperial AT-ST walker as an explosion bursts between them across an alien landscape. C-3PO and R2-D2 appear in a corner inset, grounding the issue firmly in the galaxy far, far away. With Simonson on both interior art and cover duties alongside writer David Michelinie, this is a sharp example of Marvel's Star Wars run firing on all cylinders.
