The hype was reaching hyperdrive levels as Empire Strikes Back was approaching! Hoberg and Alcala gave us big time adventure that tied fans over during this exciting time with the heroes that gave the first major victory of the rebellion.
Hi, that's definitely not Alcala. It's probably Russ Manning.
I was going by the credits listed by seller. I didn't think so either, but wasn't going to assume I was correct, and one of the reasons I jumped on it. According to what I can find this was Mannings last story arc in his final weeks on the series and I'm changing the credits right darn now. Thanks for the heads up too!
My pleasure! Alcala is one of my favorites, and I owned a bunch of original SW strips at one time.
Nice piece, and that 2nd panel is really great. Not sure if you know this or not, but that small character on his knees in the 1st panel is Boba Fett in what I think is only his second or third appearance in a Star Wars strip. Nice pick-up!
