Stan Lee Presents the Marvel Comics Illustrated Version of the Empire Strikes Back #[nn]

May 1980 · Marvel · 2.50 USD
“The Empire Strikes Back”

Adapted from the landmark film, "The Empire Strikes Back" brings the galaxy’s most pivotal conflict to the page with Archie Goodwin’s sharp script and Al Williamson’s dynamic artwork, joined by Carlos Garzón and Rick Veitch on art and inks. As Luke faces the trials of Jedi training under Yoda, Han and Leia flee the Empire’s reach, seeking refuge with Lando Calrissian on Cloud City—where danger and deception loom. The cover by Bob Larkin captures the tension of the moment, a 2.50 USD comic from 1980 that remains a standout in Marvel’s illustrated film series.
