Star Wars: Dark Times - Out of the Wilderness #1

Darth Vader dominates this cover in brooding close-up, his armored form bathed in deep crimson and shadow as a blaster bolt streaks past — the cover tagline "Vader: One Step Behind!" promising a pursuit that keeps even the galaxy's most feared enforcer on the back foot. It's the opening chapter of a five-part arc, "Out of the Wilderness," and cover artist Pablo Correa sets an atmosphere of tension and relentless momentum from the very first image. With writer Mick Harrison and artist Douglas Wheatley at the helm, this 2011 Dark Horse series looks like a compelling deep-dive into the darkest corners of the post-Order 66 galaxy.
