Star Wars #80

Darth Vader looms over a desperate scene in Ron Frenz and Tom Palmer's cover for this February 1984 Marvel installment — his fists raised and crackling with dark energy while a helmeted droid figure kneels protectively over a fallen human prisoner in what appears to be a stone dungeon. Titled "Ellie," this issue promises an emotionally charged chapter from the creative team of Jo Duffy, Frenz, Palmer, Glynis Wein, and Joe Rosen, with C-3PO and R2-D2 keeping watch in the corner inset.
