“The Last Gift from Alderaan!”

A massive armored robot dominates this Walt Simonson cover, clutching a struggling Princess Leia while a TIE fighter swoops through a fiery orange sky and C-3PO and R2-D2 look on in the background. Snowtrooper-like figures pursue from below, lending the scene a genuine sense of desperate peril across what feels like an alien landscape in ruins. With Chris Claremont scripting and Carmine Infantino among the interior artists, this November 1981 issue promises plenty of adventure tied to the evocative title "The Last Gift from Alderaan!
