Star Wars Manga: Return of the Jedi
Shin-ichi Hiromoto’s adaptation of the 1983 film, and the most stylised of the four Dark Horse manga — closer to caricature than to likeness.
Four 92-page volumes from Dark Horse between July and October 1999, illustrated by Shin-Ichi Hiromoto and adapted from the Lawrence Kasdan and George Lucas screenplay, with covers by Adam Warren and Joseph Wight.
