Star Wars: Vader - Dark Visions #1

Darth Vader astride a dark horse against a burning crimson sky — shield bearing the Imperial crest raised, red lightsaber drawn, with dark birds circling overhead — Greg Smallwood's cover art for this 2019 Marvel series opener carries an almost mythic, conquering-knight quality that feels genuinely fresh for the character. Star Wars: Vader – Dark Visions kicks off a five-part anthology-style series, with Dennis "Hopeless" Hallum writing and Paolo Villanelli on art, exploring the Dark Lord through unconventional perspectives. It's a compelling setup that promises something a little different from the galaxy's most feared Sith Lord.
