Ron Frenz & Tom Palmer, Star Wars #71

“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.
