Star Wars #68

Boba Fett dominates this February 1983 Marvel cover, blaster leveled directly at the reader, his Mandalorian armor unmistakable as crosshairs converge on his chest insignia — a composition by Gene Day that makes the bounty hunter feel genuinely threatening. Behind him, a woman, Stormtroopers, and alien figures press forward through the tension, while C-3PO and R2-D2 watch from the corner inset. With David Michelinie writing and "The Search Begins" as the story title, this issue promises exactly the kind of galaxy-spanning pursuit that made Marvel's Star Wars run such a compelling companion to the films.
