Mara Jade gets her start here in these graphic novels and then later moves on to trilogy stardom. She is possibly my favorite character in the Star Wars EU. She also got me started on comic books in general. And my computer's named after her. Can I spell it out any more clearly? Although not all of the EU books have done her justice, Mara Jade is always a mysterious force to be reckoned with!
