STAR WARS #78 - December 1983


Look at these ne'r do wells!
Interesting stand alone story this issue, with a rebel left behind on Hoth after the Imperial Attack in The Empire Strikes Back. Unfortunately, the main character is an unintended mashup between Wedge and Biggs. But this is still a nice change of pace showcasing a minor character.
