Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron #10

The deserts of Tatooine have never looked this tense — the cover by Mark Harrison drops readers into a shadowy, industrial setting where a cloaked figure crouches beneath massive mechanical arms, facing a suspended, crackling energy field encasing what appears to be a large alien brain. It's a genuinely arresting image that captures the gritty, dangerous atmosphere this arc promises. Part two of four in the "Battleground: Tatooine" storyline, this 1996 Dark Horse issue features writing by Michael A. Stackpole and Jan Strnad with interior art by John Nadeau and Jordi Ensign, keeping Rogue Squadron's adventures firmly grounded in the galaxy's roughest corners.
