Star Wars #104 Cover (Luke Skywalker Battles The Hiromi Insects As The Zeltrons Smash A Chandelier!) 1985

Check out this cosmic 1985 STAR WARS cover which was penciled by Cynthia Martin and inked by Steve Leialoha Star Wars Cover. A rare opportunity to own a cover featuring not just Luke Skywalker, but also the Hiromi -- the hilariously inept insectoid species that played a major role in Marvel's penultimate Star Wars storyline. These would-be conquerors provided a lighthearted contrast to the series' typically serious tone, their grand ambitions often undone by their own bumbling schemes. Their Star Wars debut? Infamously orchestrating a failed war between the Ewoks and Lahsbees in the appropriately titled "Small Wars." Here, Luke Skywalker finds himself in an unexpected predicament -- held at gunpoint by the Hiromi, while the exuberant Zeltrons bring down the chandelier in a fit of wild, over-the-top revelry. You can just hear them declaring, "Truly the time is upon us! In my hearts, I know that nothing can stop us now! The glory of the Hiromi is assured!" This dynamic cover perfectly captures the adventurous spirit of Marvel's Star Wars run, which expanded the galaxy far, far away beyond the blockbuster films. Launched in 1977 alongside Star Wars: A New Hope, Marvel's series ran for nine action-packed years, chronicling the thrilling exploits of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, and the ever-faithful droids, C-3PO and R2-D2. With original stories, new villains, and unexpected allies, these comics kept the saga alive between films, cementing their place as a beloved chapter in Star Wars history. Signed by both artists at the bottom of image area, and signed by Cynthia Martin in the bottom margin. Compare this nice cover art to the published comic book in the red link above!
