Where it came from
Published by Dark Horse Comics in 1999, Mara Jade: By the Emperor's Hand #3 serves as part of the pivotal miniseries that fleshed out the backstory of one of the most significant characters in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Conceived by Timothy Zahn and Michael A. Stackpole, the series explores the early life of Mara Jade as the Emperor's Hand, providing context for her transition from a loyal servant of the Galactic Empire to a key figure in the New Republic era.
The interior art for this issue was rendered by Carlos Ezquerra, while the series featured covers by Drew Struzan. By this period, the character of Mara Jade had already secured a devoted following among fans of the franchise's literary expansions. The miniseries was generally received as a necessary bridge for long-time readers, successfully detailing the personal conflict and operational duties that defined her time in service to Palpatine before her eventual redemption and marriage to Luke Skywalker.
