The Marvel Comics Illustrated Version of Star Wars #2
In "World of Fire! Part One," Luke and Leia seize the Empire's new vessel, the Staraker, from the Foundry and race toward the Rebel base on Alashan—only to find it reduced to ruins. With an Imperial fleet closing in, automated defenses on Alashan's surface unleash a devastating barrage, forcing Luke to make a desperate crash landing. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art, with Gene Day’s inks and lettering by Irving Watanabe and Jean Simek, this 1982 Marvel Comics Illustrated adaptation captures the high stakes of Star Wars’ galactic conflict. The cover by Earl Norem perfectly frames the chaos of the Staraker’s descent.
