Star Wars: Darth Vader #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeLaunching Marvel's 2015 solo series for the galaxy's most iconic villain, this opening volume follows Darth Vader in the immediate aftermath of the destruction of the first Death Star, as a humiliated and politically vulnerable Sith Lord works to reassert his place in the Empire while secretly pursuing his own agenda apart from the Emperor's orders. Written by Kieron Gillen with art by Salvador Larroca, the arc introduces key new characters — including the archaeologist-for-hire Doctor Aphra and a pair of murderous droids — who would go on to define the series. It stands as one of Marvel's strongest Star Wars debuts, weaving seamlessly into the continuity established by the original film trilogy.
"Book 1 Vader" launches Kieron Gillen’s acclaimed run on Star Wars: Darth Vader, with Salvador Larroca’s dynamic art bringing a chilling intensity to Vader’s first mission after the Death Star’s fall. Sent by Emperor Palpatine to negotiate with Jabba the Hutt, Vader must prove his worth in a galaxy where power is as dangerous as it is fleeting. Adi Granov’s striking cover captures the menace and isolation of the Dark Lord in his new, high-stakes assignment.
