DescriptionDay 02. Thirty-One days of Star Wars (2024 edition) continues!Han's old friends Salla Zend and Shug Ninx are in possession of the Millennium Falcon, and hanging out in a spacer bar with a couple of deep-core hauler acquaintances. The pair await an update from Han for a pick-up of his party. Han makes contact, but things aren't quite going according to plan, and Salla and Ninx get ready to make a run in the Falcon. I have been waiting since last June to post this piece and finally check the Cam Kennedy Dark Empire box for my gallery. Mr. Kennedy opened sales for a short window last year, and after sending various page selections which all went to other buyers who responded quicker than I did, my fifth pick was the charm! Dark Horse brought Star Wars back to comics in the 1990s, and kicked things off in a big way with Star Wars: Dark Empire in 1991. The series spawned two sequel series - Dark Empire II (again with painted interiors by Kennedy) and Empire's End (with painted interiors by Jim Baikie). Achievement unlocked! MTFBWY Social/Sharing |

LOVE this page. Anytime someone is able to illustrate the "other side" of Star Wars I am there for it. Cam is a singular genius and I for one really value his contribution to the SW legacy.

There is a method to my May madness! But this one was a total fluke. I'll still take credit for it though. Ha!

It does have a bayou feel, especially with the giant space crayfish.

Yep. Through the whole process I was thinking "If I get anything at all, I'll be happy and satisfied".

It was certainly a key in ressurecting the franchise in the 1990s, and set Dark Horse in a strong position to hold that license for the next 20 years.
