Star Wars: Return of the Jedi 1: In the Hands of Jabba the Hutt, the initial installment of the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi limited series, belongs to the Marvel Star Wars collection of comic books.
It represents the first of four parts adapting the Return of the Jedi film into comic book form.
In contrast to the prior Marvel Star Wars adaptations of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, this adaptation was released as a separate mini-series, not as part of the main comic book series.
This issue includes four pin-up pages: Bib Fortuna, Sy Snootles & Max Rebo Band, and Salacious B. Crumb illustrated by Al Williamson, along with the Tydirium Shuttle illustrated by Rick J. Bryant.
Darth Vader inspects the progress of the Death Star II while the Rebel Alliance endeavors to liberate Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt's clutches.
