Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back

A single-issue comic adaptation of the classic film, this 1980 Oberon release distilled the saga's pivotal middle chapter into a comic format. Writer Archie Goodwin and artists Al Williamson, Carlos Garzón, and Rick Veitch brought the icy world of Hoth, the swamps of Dagobah, and the revelation of Vader's paternity to the printed page. Though brief, it stands as a direct, early translation of the cinematic blockbuster into sequential art.
