Vader's Quest

Vader's Quest is a four-issue comic book miniseries set in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, written by Darko Macan and drawn by Dave Gibbons and Angus McKie.

Published by Dark Horse Comics, the original four issues appeared in February through May 1999;[1][2] a trade paperback reprinting all four was released in December of that same year.

Together, the four covers of the individual issues form a tetraptych, which is printed in the trade paperback.

They focus on, from left to right, Darth Vader, Palpatine, Jal Te Gniev, and Luke Skywalker.

Vader previously met Luke face to face in the 1978 novel sequel to the original film, Splinter of the Mind's Eye, though this book became largely non-canonical with the release of a full-fledged sequel in the form of The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
