Star Wars Tales #19

A lightsaber blade blazes up the center of this striking cover by Andrew Robinson, its brilliant glow illuminating a young man's face while figures including Boba Fett and other familiar Star Wars characters shimmer within the column of light — with planets drifting through the deep space backdrop for good measure. At 64 pages, this 2004 Dark Horse anthology offers serious value for Star Wars fans, with interior work from writer Haden Blackman and artist Sean Murphy. It's the kind of oversized package that makes Star Wars Tales such a satisfying series for readers who want their galaxy far, far away in generous doses.
