Description

Apparently this was the first U.K. originated Star Wars story. Penned by the late Steve Moore. John Stokes on pencils, and inked by him too.

That’s Luke Skywalker himself crash-landing his X-wing on planet Lapez 5.

It seems this story didn’t see light of day in the US until 2013, when it was gathered up and collected in the ‘Wild Space’ omnibus.

Definitely NOT for sale.

Great era for Star Wars fandom and all the stories after ESB that could be told to further expand the universe. Comics and novels opened up and had a lot of freedom to craft these side stories and we get to see how big and vast it is here. Stokes being around since the 60's, illustrates it with care and skill knowing it would have a greater following than other comics of the time.
