Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi - The Fall of the Sith Empire #1

Opening the five-part "Fall of the Sith Empire" arc, this 1997 Dark Horse series takes Star Wars storytelling deep into the ancient past of the galaxy. Duncan Fegredo's cover art is richly atmospheric, depicting a menacing dark-side figure at the center, arms raised amid crackling dark energy and swirling chains, with eerie Sith temple carvings and lurking figures flanking him in the shadows. Writer Kevin J. Anderson and artist Dario Carrasco Jr. bring "Desperate Measures" to life in what promises to be a vivid exploration of a war-torn era long before the films.
