Title: “DAY OF THE DRAGON LORDS!”

Release Date: April 11, 1978

Writer: Archie Goodwin

Consulting Editor: Jim Shooter

Penciller: Carmine Infantino, Terry Austin

Cover Art: John Byrne

Synopsis: Luke Skywalker has been forced to join Governor Quarg’s group in their battle against the Dragon Lords. Meanwhile aboard Crimson Jack’s space cruiser, Han Solo is trying to talk his way out of trouble when Jack realizes that they have been duped into coming to Drexel. But Quarg’s jamming equipment on the planet’s surface causes a disruption on the space cruiser, which is enough of a diversion to allow Solo, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia Organa to escape in the Millennium Falcon to the surface below. The Falcon splashes onto the water covered surface of Drexel, right in the middle of an epic battle between Quarg’s men and the Dragon Lords with Luke Skywalker caught right in the middle.
