Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron #11

The skies above Tatooine turn into a furious battleground on Mark Harrison's cover, where an X-wing erupts in a fiery explosion caught between diving TIE fighters and streaking green laser blasts — with a helmeted Rogue Squadron pilot looming large in the foreground, his expression grimly determined. This is part three of four in the "Battleground: Tatooine" arc, with Michael A. Stackpole and Jan Strnad writing and John Nadeau on interior art, so the tension is clearly building toward a dramatic finish. If you love Star Wars dogfights rendered with real kinetic energy, this 1996 Dark Horse issue delivers that in spades.
