Owner's Description

Star Wars 16: The Hunter.

Writer: Archie Goodwin, Penciller: Walt Simonson, Inker: Bob Wiacek, Cover artist: Walt Simonson.

Signed by Walt Simonson on 8/25/13.

This issue features the 1st appearance of Beilert Valance (who was commonly known as Valance the Hunter).

Valance was a bounty hunter characterized as having an extreme hatred towards droids. A page explained Valance’s origin as an Imperial Stormtrooper that happened to be seriously injured. He was rebuilt as a cyborg (with way more mechanical components as opposed to original organic tissue). Valance’s hatred of droids was fueled by a hatred of his being mostly mechanical components.

This was the 1st issue to not to feature any of the core original trilogy characters (with the exception of a single page flashback).
