About the Item
This NY Toy Fair Edition features one of the most striking covers produced for the series, depicting Darth Vader walking through ranks of Imperial Stormtroopers inside the throne room corridor. The cover was produced specifically for New York Toy Fair, making it far rarer than the standard issue. McDiarmid's "Emperor" inscription directly ties the signature to his iconic character — a rare character-specific touch that Star Wars collectors actively seek, making this far more desirable than a standard signature. Story by Jason Aaron, art by John Cassaday. Graded CGC 9.8 with White Pages — near-perfect preservation and top-tier investment-grade condition.
