Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron #29

Part two of the "Masquerade" arc finds Rogue Squadron deep in deception, and this Dark Horse cover captures that tension beautifully — a smiling woman in civilian clothes stands over a kneeling man in a white jacket, the two surrounded by armored Imperial-looking figures lurking in the blue-lit background. John Nadeau's painted-style cover work gives the scene a cinematic spy-thriller quality that feels perfectly suited to a story built around disguise and infiltration. With Michael A. Stackpole writing and Drew Johnson on interior art, this 1998 installment promises the sharp character work and galactic intrigue that made this series a standout in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
