Classic Star Wars #2 represents the second installment in the Classic Star Wars collection, brought to you by Dark Horse Comics.
Specifically, this Classic collection presented newly colored and restructured versions of the Star Wars daily newspaper strip, originally crafted by Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson in the early 1980s; this issue contains the latter portion of The Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell. To adapt the stories for the comic book format, Williamson contributed additional artwork and panels to improve the narrative flow.
Within Classic Star Wars, readers can follow the exploits of the beloved Rebel heroes, set in the timeline between the initial and subsequent Star Wars movies. In this edition, Darth Vader is scheming fresh strategies to ensnare the Rebels, but an Admiral who has changed sides might interfere with his schemes. Simultaneously, Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca successfully evade a bounty hunter, only to encounter the Imperial fleet!
