Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith
The four-issue adaptation of the 2005 film, drawn by Doug Wheatley and released weekly in the month before the premiere.
Scripted by Christopher Cerasi under the pen name Miles Lane and pencilled throughout by Douglas Wheatley. Dark Horse’s own listings and Marvel’s later digital listing disagree about the weekly on-sale dates by up to three weeks; the publisher’s dates are used here. Dates in the issue table are documented release dates — Dark Horse printed no cover date on these comics.
