Star Wars Omnibus: A Long Time Ago.... #2

Collecting a rich swath of early Marvel-era Star Wars stories, this 2010 Dark Horse omnibus gathers adventures that span the galaxy far, far away. Al Williamson's cover art sets a dramatic tone — a dark, caped figure wielding a crimson lightsaber bears down on a smaller, determined opponent whose blue blade is raised in defiance, all against a swirling, hypnotic background. At $24.99, it's a satisfying volume of classic Star Wars comics featuring work from talents like Mike W. Barr, Walt Simonson, and Tom Palmer.
