Star Wars: River of Chaos #1

The opening chapter of this four-part Dark Horse series arrives with a cover by June Brigman and Roy Richardson that throws you straight into the conflict: a stormtrooper grapples with a red-haired woman in the foreground while more stormtroopers close in on other figures nearby, and TIE fighters streak through a purple sky above an exotic, dome-spired landscape. Writer Louise Simonson sets the stage for what looks like a desperate struggle against Imperial forces on an unfamiliar world. It's a vivid, action-packed introduction to a corner of the Star Wars galaxy that 1995 readers were just beginning to explore.
