“Jawas of Doom”

This March 1984 issue of Marvel's Star Wars arrives with a cover by Tom Palmer that packs in an impressive roster of characters — Han Solo dominates the composition with blaster in hand, while Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Boba Fett, C-3PO, R2-D2, and a pair of Jawas fill out the scene alongside the Millennium Falcon in the background. The story title "Jawas of Doom" promises those little scavengers are more than background color this time around. With the interior work from writer Jo Duffy and artist Ron Frenz, this is a solid entry in Marvel's long-running galaxy-spanning series.
