Description

�He�s Got A Lightsaber!�

Here is a very dynamic page from a very dynamic art duo (sorry, couldn�t resist) of Ron Frenz and Tom Plamer. Following the terrific run by Walter Simonson and a few fill-in issues from Gene Day, Frenz took over as regular penciller; Palmer stayed on as inker, once again providing a smooth consistency to the art on the original series.

As for the story? The cover blurb says: "The quest For Han Solo most ends here," but this was false advertising: Han wasn�t able to return to Marvel�s Star Wars series until a few months after the release of Return of The Jedi. (Issue #81, almost a year later, to be precise.) Fortunately, Marvel�s creative team did a terrific job with the little information they had ahead of ROTJ.

Primo Jedi action! It's all the flips and jumps we wanted to see what a trained Jedi could do! The force works in mysterious ways as this Frenz layout breaks through panel borders to maintain the flow of the action!

Frenz really hit the ground running following Simonson's stint on the title, and this page is action packed proof. Very nice!
