Classic Star Wars: A New Hope

In 1994, Dark Horse Comics launched this two-issue adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope, bringing George Lucas's original film to the comic page with a script by Roy Thomas and art by Howard Chaykin. The series faithfully retells the saga of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa as they battle the Empire, marking an early example of Dark Horse's celebrated tenure with the Star Wars license. While brief, this adaptation stands as a foundational piece of the publisher's expanded Star Wars line, showcasing the team that helped define the franchise's comic-book look in the pre-prequel era.
