Star Wars Dark Empire #1

Star Wars Dark Empire #1 from Dark Horse Comics (1991) launched what many consider the definitive post-original trilogy storyline. Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy's collaboration brought Emperor Palpatine back while exploring the dark side's continued influence on the galaxy. Dave Dorman's painted cover immediately signaled this wasn't your typical Star Wars comic. The series set the standard for expanded universe storytelling. Near mint condition throughout.
