Description
Luke Skywalker leads a flight of just six X-Wings against a Star Destroyer and three flights of Tie-Fighters! Luckily, they have an ace up their sleeves, and have an energy field that will throw off the Empire's targeting!

Vader screams out in frustration from his Star Destroyer in the last panel.

My favorite part of Star Wars as a kid was the space battles, and this one has plenty of space action! Just try to tally up all the X-Wings and Ties!

Showing the preceding and following strips for more story context.

Written by Don R. Christensen
Art by Russ Manning

From the "As Long As We Live" story arc. The final story arc Russ was able to complete before turning art duties over to Rick Hoberg and Alfredo Alcala in the following arc.

Published in 1980.

This is great Star Wars no matter what form it is coming in.  The Manning art is an experience of everything that thrills.     Even for artists, the X-Wings are incredibly hard to draw when S-foils are in attack position as they change in perspective at every angle.
