Star Wars

Brian Wood's final major Dark Horse flagship run before the license returned to Marvel.

01 · Summary

What the series is about

Brian Wood's final major Dark Horse flagship run before the license returned to Marvel.

Star Wars was published by Dark Horse during 2013–2014. IDS classifies the series as Legends, places it in the Age of Rebellion era, and labels its format as Ongoing.

The current run record is 20 issues. That run description is kept separate from variants, collected editions, annuals, one-shots, and reprints so collectors can distinguish the story sequence from the physical formats used to publish it.

02 · Publication file

Where it sits in Star Wars comics

Star Wars belongs to the Legends side of the archive and is indexed as a ongoing from Dark Horse. Its publication span is 2013–2014, with the current IDS run record listed as 20 issues.

IDS treats publisher, continuity, run structure, physical issue format, variants, and later collections as separate metadata fields so a trade paperback or alternate cover is not mistaken for a different story issue.

07 · IDS lens

What this comic can reveal

This series is useful for examining authoritarian institutions, military hierarchy, surveillance, coercion, and the ways political power becomes visible through ordinary encounters as well as major battles.

IDS reads those themes alongside the series publication history, asking how comics give recurring institutions more narrative space than a film or television episode can.

Publication and collector sources

IDS separates publication facts and creator metadata from independently written summaries and analysis. Representative covers are resolved from bibliographic records and may depict a collected edition rather than the exact first issue of the run.
