Star Wars #86

Princess Leia scrambles in desperation across a rocky, dust-choked landscape as an imposing armored figure looms over her — the cover's taunting speech bubble, "Still feeling high and mighty, Princess?", sets a tense and urgent mood right from the start. Bob McLeod's cover art frames the confrontation with real dramatic weight, and a small inset panel of Luke Skywalker in the upper corner hints that the Rebellion's struggle is very much alive in 1984's "The Alderaan Factor!" Written by Randy Stradley with interior art by Bob McLeod, this issue promises a story with personal stakes for one of the galaxy's most resilient heroes.
