Star Wars: Republic #77

Quinlan Vos strides forward on this striking Dark Horse cover, twin green lightsabers ignited and eyes burning with fierce intensity against a swirling, ominous backdrop — the tagline "The Final Test of Quinlan Vos!" says everything about the stakes on display. Part four of the "Siege of Saleucami" arc, this 2005 Clone Wars entry caps off what writer John Ostrander and artist Jan Duursema built across the story. Duursema's cover art — both pencils and inks her own — gives Vos a brooding, battle-hardened presence that makes it hard to look away.
