Empire 23: The Bravery of Being Out of Range represents the twenty-third installment within the Star Wars: Empire comic book series. Dark Horse Comics released it to the public on August 18, 2004.
The job was envisioned as straightforward: move a young woman through the desert to her awaiting companions. However, for BoShek, a smuggler who has reformed, things never go as planned. He quickly becomes embroiled in a conflict involving a radical cell of the Rebel Alliance and Imperial agents—placing him directly at odds with his personal wish to stay clear of galactic affairs.
As the flames of civil war rage around him, BoShek might be compelled to choose a side ... unless he can escape the situation entirely.
This marks the inaugural full-length comic book adventure featuring BoShek, one of the most captivating personalities encountered in the Mos Eisley cantina, also known as the "Rockabilly Spaceman"!
