Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
This is the final volume of reformatted newspaper comic strips from 1981-1984 describing Luke, Han, and Leia's adventures during the time between the end of Star Wars, the movie, and the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back. Their previous rebel base has been destroyed and our heroes must escape an Imperial blockade on the world of the Mon Calimari in order to establish a new base on the ice planet of Hoth. Al Williamson, best known for his work on Weird Fantasy and Flash Gordon, provided the lavish artwork.

Product Description
After the initial euphoria of the Rebel Alliance's first major success -- the destruction of the dreaded Imperial battle station known as the Death Star -- the Empire began to rally. It had been staggered, but not destroyed. Even Darth Vader still lived. And he sought to avenge himself upon the still-ragtag forces of the Rebel Alliance. This is the story of how Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and the droids graduated from the triumphal reception at the conclusion of Star Wars: A New Hope to their new lives as hardbitten guerrillas fighting against the tyrannies of a still-dangerous Empire in The Empire Strikes Back.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read and historical reference for any Star Wars fan!, April 27, 1998
By A Customer
This graphic novel is a great history filler for the time that lapsed between A New Hope and Empire. When read sequentially after the first two volumes, it becomes a whole new movie explaining how and why the rebels chose to go to Hoth and helps to give a better understanding of the main characters motives. All in all, a great read for any Star Wars afficinando!

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, October 18, 2004
al williamson is the best star war artist, han solo looks like harrison ford, luke sykywalker looks like mark hamill and darth vader is brillant. anybody that gives this book less than 4 stars is blind. archie goodwin is excellent as well (at writing the strip) i can't say enough about the illustration for this book and it's predessors. the art really draws u in deep into the story and the writing, hans, luke, darth and the gang, sound in character. a really lovely and beautiful book

3.0 out of 5 stars Slightly weaker part 3 to the early adventures., July 23, 2003
By JediMack (VALRICO, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This is a review of the Dark horse TPB comic Classic Star Wars volume 3 - Escape to Hoth. Dark Horse did an excellent job collecting and enhancing newspaper comic strips from the early 1980's. The pencil work is good, but here, who was that lady pretending to be Leia? The stories are fun and worthwhile.

It does seem that Dark horse has let the quality of its art and writing slide a bit as they went along here. Volume 1 and 2 are the best. Volume 3 is OK, and volume 4 is only fair. I gave them all 3 stars because the stories can be a fun journey that DOES fit in with the movies.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Mixed Package
Here is probably one of the most unique SW comics. The reformatted serial comic strip from the days of yore has a feel all its own, which can be both good and bad. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Star Wars completists
Just like the two other releases in the Archie Goodwin classics ('Deadly Pursuit' and 'Rebel Storm') Escape to Hoth offers mediocre stories and art. Read more
