Star Wars Tales #24
By: Rob Williams, Lucas Marangon, various
Cover Artist: Brandon Badeaux


Powerful is the dark side of the Force; its corrupting, seductive pull has produced some of the most memorable villains in the Star Wars galaxy. Exploring the moral and emotional fall-out that comes with giving oneself over to the ways of the Sith, this issue features four stories steeped in darkness and danger, spanning nearly every Star Wars era, including the final act of our serialized tale, "Nomad." The truth about wandering Jedi Darca Nyl is at last revealed, but will the end of his journey bring him peace ... or even more trouble? The premier Star Wars comics anthology rolls onward.


Pub. Date: June 08, 2005
Format: Full color, 64 pages
Price: $5.99

cool Sweet. I don't care if he is the most overrated and overhyped SW character. Maul is awesome.

BTW would anyone mind if I hurt Leto for posting that pic?

Though I wonder if the Maul story is part of continuity or not- he didn't get the Infiltrator till the Darth Maul comic, and this seems to take place much earlier in Maul's apprenticedhip.

It could be after Darth Maul and before Shadow Hunter. Or between Shadow Hunter and TPM. It would be a tight fit either way though.

Is that young red being supposed to be maul? Cause Zabraks arenot supposed to be red. An I doubt he would be mr.Tatoos yet.

Maybe he had a really, really bad sunburn?

Maybe he got the red body tatoo, then black sith tatoos to cover it up.

I always had the impression that the red was his natural skin color and just the black areas were tattooed; has it been stated otherwise elsewhere? Also, awesome preview; I always like to see Maul getting more characterization.

Common to bad science fiction and fantasy is the depiction of various species possessing only one physical/racial physiognomy, speaking only one single language, and residing only in one single region of a planet/world.

If there can be multi-hued Humans and Twi'leks, I have no problem with multiple Zabrak tints. Think Sidious enjoyed that loincloth a bit too much, though.



...And no, rogue, I don't mind. Feel free to pummel away.

That was sweet! What does it mean when Obi-1 won't fight Destroyer Droids but can kill Darth Maul who call obliterate 3 Destroyer Droids at a time? I felt the power of Ray Park!

Y'know, it is possible that palpatine meant for Maul to be a weapon of fear from day one & had him ducked into a permanent red dye tank, but then again I've seen red Zabraks in SW Galaxies too.

Did Jeremy script that Maul issue? I can scent his verbal style. Same as Best Blades.

It's placing has to be not long before Saboteur; Maul had just gotten his saber before.

But when the wind blows, my temper implodes,
High above a pit, filled with sharkticons,
Down will come hardcover addicts, beaming no more. ©

Sounds good. You only live about 10-15 miles away anyway.
