Star Wars: Republic #76

Part three of the "Siege of Saleucami" arc arrives in this 2005 Clone Wars chapter from Dark Horse, with a cover by Jan Duursema that sets a compelling tone. Dominating the image are two figures — a dark-haired warrior wielding a blue lightsaber, his face marked with striking yellow tattoos, and a blue-skinned Twi'lek woman standing at his back, holstered and ready — both framed against a sky blazing with fiery orange light and distant machinery of war. The tagline "Darkness, Light, and Fire" perfectly captures the charged atmosphere Ostrander and Duursema have built across this four-part story.
