Classic Star Wars #20 represents the twentieth installment of the Classic Star Wars comic book collection, brought to you by Dark Horse Comics. Notably, it serves as the concluding chapter of the main series, despite subsequent series being released under the Classic title.
This specific Classic series consisted of recolored and re-edited versions of the Star Wars daily newspaper strip, originally crafted by Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson during the early 1980s.
To adapt the stories for a standard comic book layout, Williamson contributed additional artwork and panels to ensure seamless narrative progression.
Events are quickly escalating in the beloved galaxy far, far away, leading directly into the storyline of the film, The Empire Strikes Back. The Rebels are about to clash with Imperial forces on the frozen world of Hoth. However, before this confrontation, our Rebel protagonists must contend with a familiar cast of Star Wars scoundrels and villains: Darth Vader, Raskar, Skorr, and the notorious bounty hunter, Boba Fett! This highly praised reprint series culminates in a special expanded 48-page edition. It showcases Al Williamson's original newspaper strip illustrations, previously unreleased Star Wars artwork by Al Williamson, and a brand-new cover also by Al Williamson! What more could one desire!
