Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #4

Princess Leia clutches a heavy blaster and stands her ground alongside a gear-laden Chewbacca in Hugh Fleming's moody, painted cover — flames and smoke billowing at their feet as the two survey what lies ahead with unmistakable resolve. This fourth chapter of the six-part miniseries finds John Wagner, Kilian Plunkett, and P. Craig Russell deep in the heart of the Shadows of the Empire saga, one of 1996's most ambitious Star Wars multimedia events. Dark Horse brought real cinematic weight to this tie-in, and Fleming's cover captures that tension beautifully.
