Star Wars #57

The cloud city of Bespin becomes a war zone on this 1982 Marvel cover, where Imperial Stormtroopers unleash heavy firepower against a Rebel fighter in an orange flight suit amid the city's distinctive architecture — with C-3PO and R2-D2 visible in a small inset at top-left. Walter Simonson and Tom Palmer deliver a kinetic, detail-rich cover that captures the chaos of an Imperial occupation perfectly matched by the story title "Hello, Bespin, Good-Bye!" Written by Louise Jones, Walter Simonson, and David Michelinie, this issue brings a full creative team to one of the galaxy's most memorable settings.
