DESCRIPTION
Russ Manning Art; 6/15/80; image size 22.5" x 15"
Darth Vader panel with Luke, Chewy, Leia, Han, Artoo, & Threepio panelThe appearance of three of the most memorable Star Wars spacecraft in this Sunday strip is surely the major selling point as Russell Manning's steady and precise pen renders an iconic X-wing, an Imperial Star Destroyer, and an Alderaan Cruiser with his renowned illustrative skills. Blending hand-to-hand combat with the larger-scale starship battle creates incredible tension and allows the action to move seamlessly from panel to panel.
It should be noted that Star Wars Sunday #67 is the only page in the series to feature all six heroes as well as Darth Vader, making it a special piece that will be of interest to genuine Star Wars collectors. The penultimate panel showcases a foreboding Darth Vader barking orders at his crew before, arguably, the most memorable hero panel of the entire series, in which a somber Leia pays tribute to a fallen comrade as the rest of the team looks on in dismay.
