Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace #2

The Boonta Eve Podrace comes to vivid life on this second issue of Dark Horse's 1999 adaptation of The Phantom Menace, with a young helmeted pilot gripping his controls in the foreground as rival pods streak and explode through the dusty Tatooine landscape behind him. Hugh Fleming's painted cover captures the chaos and speed of the race with real kinetic energy — flames billow from a wrecked pod while another racer swoops in from the distance. With Gilroy, Damaggio, and Williamson handling the interior, this mini-series brings one of sci-fi's most beloved stories to the comics page in style.
