Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron #6

The second chapter of "The Phantom Affair" arrives with a cover by Mathieu Lauffray that immediately sets a tense, conspiratorial mood — two figures loom large in the foreground, their faces bathed in contrasting warm and cool light, while an X-wing fighter streaks away from a fiery explosion against the curve of a planet below. The composition balances intimate drama with the wide-open danger of space combat beautifully. Written by Michael A. Stackpole and Darko Macan with interior art by Edvin Biuković, this 1996 Dark Horse series continues to deliver the pulse of Rogue Squadron storytelling at its most intriguing.
