Star Wars: Empire #19

Darth Vader dominates this cover by Doug Wheatley, red lightsaber blazing as he strides forward through a dramatic Imperial archway — a figure of absolute, menacing authority. The bold tagline "Vader's Past Catches Up With Him!" sets the stage for Ron Marz's story "Target: Vader," promising a tale that turns the Dark Lord himself into the hunted. Dark Horse delivers a compelling 2004 entry in the Empire series that puts one of sci-fi's most formidable villains squarely in the crosshairs.
