Star Wars: Dark Empire #[nn]

This collection brings together the six-issue Star Wars: Dark Empire series, originally published by Dark Horse Comics in 1991-1992. Set six years after Return of the Jedi, the story follows Luke Skywalker's struggle with the dark side as he confronts a resurrected Emperor Palpatine, who has seized control of the galaxy with a fleet of superweapons. The Boxtree edition collects the complete saga, featuring painted artwork by Dave Dorman and a narrative that expands the post-Return of the Jedi era before the prequel films redefined the timeline.
