Description

Star Wars: Empire issue 31 came out in 2005. That was right in my heyday of being a con exhibitor and attending the first four Star Wars Celebrations. Most of these events I was assisting an assortment of Star Wars artist friends, including my longtime pile Joe. From this issue’s release until around 2009 I picked up a number of pages from Joe, and also from issue 25 released a year earlier. I’ll never have the complete issue 25, as George Lucas bought the last two pages of the story. George also bought the cover to issue 31. Darn that first right of refusal clause! But, I’m still adding pages occasionally when I find them.

Publisher’s summary - For the velociraptor-like inhabitants of Tiss'sharl, assassination is a common method of corporate or political advancement—as the planet's president can attest. But the Tiss'shar are about to get a surprising lesson in the use of force from one who has made the ruthless application of fear and violence a way of life: Darth Vader has dropped in for an unexpected visit.

Vader's arrival could not have come at a worse time for the President, who is fending off attempts on his life—and business offers from a dangerous quarter. But even the President's cool reptilian intellect can't guess at the real reasons for Vader's visit, or the depths at which the Dark Lord's machinations run.

This issue was colored directly over scans of Joe’s pencils, as can be seen in the additional image. It was signed by Joe and writer Scott Allie circa 2007.

Signed by the writer/editor, too —and his autograph is a bit more elusive these days!

Little did I know in 2005 all that would spill out in the ensuing years.
