Star Wars: A New Hope - The Special Edition #3

Darth Vader looms large over this penultimate chapter of Dark Horse's four-part A New Hope Special Edition adaptation, his imposing silhouette set against a fiery orange sky with TIE fighters and the Millennium Falcon visible in the distance. Below him, an ensemble of key figures crowds the foreground — Princess Leia in white, Grand Moff Tarkin, Obi-Wan Kenobi igniting his blue lightsaber, and a rank of Imperial stormtroopers — painting a vivid picture of the film's central conflict between Rebellion and Empire. It's a handsome Dave Dorman cover that captures the scope and tension of the story beautifully, with creators Jones, Barreto, Williamson, and Garzon bringing the galaxy far, far away to the comics page.
