Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi - Dark Lords of the Sith #1

Set thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War, this 1994 Dark Horse series opener dives deep into the ancient history of the Force with "Masters and Students of the Force." Hugh Fleming's painted cover brings together two lightsaber-wielding Jedi in the foreground — a determined young woman and a cloaked figure mid-stride — while a brooding, imposing face looms large in the background and starships streak through a fiery sky above. With Tom Veitch and Kevin J. Anderson co-writing and Chris Gossett on interior art, this first chapter of the six-part Dark Lords of the Sith arc promises a rich exploration of Jedi and Sith at the height of their ancient conflict.
