Star Wars #98 (Supply and Demand) Marvel Comics August 1985 (Very Fine)

Description

In Star Wars #98, Han Solo and his temporary co-pilot, Nien Nunb, are on a mission for the Rebel Alliance to the ore-mining world of Vandelhelm. Han is tasked with escorting two members of a royal family—a woman and her young son (the legitimate heirs to the planet)—back to their homeworld to stabilise the Alliance’s metal supply. They face betrayal from the current Guildmaster, Orrk, who has secretly allied with the Imperial Admiral Mordur. After a zero-gravity battle to prevent ore barges from being destroyed by the sun, Lando Calrissian arrives with an Alliance fleet to secure the system.
