First Look: Star Wars: Darth Vader # 1

For the first time since the late ‘80s, Star Wars comics are coming back to Marvel early next year.

While the later stages of Dark Horse Comics’ Star Wars run tended to be set in the prequel series era, Marvel’s new Star Wars comics are firmly set during the original Star Wars trilogy. That means that Luke, Han and Leia are back in the spotlight. But so is the O.G. Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.

Kieron Gillen and artist Salvador Larroca are the creative team of Marvel’s upcoming Star Wars: Darth Vader comic, which will explore the war against the Rebel Alliance from Vader’s point of view in the aftermath of the first Death Star’s destruction.

Marvel has released a preview from Star Wars: Darth Vader that features a moment we’ve never seen before: Darth Vader in the Jabba’s palace as he confronts Jabba the Hutt himself!

Star Wars: Darth Vader # 1 will launch in February 2015.
