Star Wars Omnibus: A Long Time Ago.... #5

A foreground Stormtrooper stands at the ready, blaster raised, while a colorful crowd of aliens, rebels, and recognizable Star Wars characters fills the background in this fifth omnibus collection from Dark Horse's "A Long Time Ago…" series. Cover pencils by Cynthia Martin and inks by Art Nichols give the scene a lively, era-appropriate energy that captures the sprawling galaxy of characters these stories explored. At $24.99, this 2012 volume is a satisfying way to revisit a rich stretch of Marvel-era Star Wars comics in one handsome package.
