The Empire Strikes Back Weekly #134
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Chapter XVII: Duel a Dark Lord!" delivers a twisty sci-fi tale from the early days of Marvel UK's Star Wars weekly, written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber and illustrated by Paul Reinman, whose dynamic art brings the alien threat to life. When towering invaders menace New York, the city’s defenders hold them at bay—only to discover the giants were using a projector to fake their size, revealing a surprising truth about their retreat. The cover, a striking collaboration by Al Williamson and Carlos Garzón, captures the moment of revelation with bold, cinematic flair.
When alien giants menace New York, Bobby Grant and Sally Grant find themselves at the heart of a citywide mystery—until a hidden projector reveals the shocking truth behind the invaders' size. What seemed like a terrifying invasion may have been a carefully staged illusion, and the real reason for the giants' retreat is far more surprising than anyone expected.
In "The Secret of the Hidden Planet!", Paul Hastings, Dirk Morgan, and Joe find themselves entangled in a high-stakes race to Venus, where a ruthless pilot has sabotaged his rival to claim first contact with mysterious human-like aliens. But when the truth emerges—these visitors are actually tourists from the future who refuse to engage with the present—only the trio’s wits may uncover what the galaxy has been hiding.
