Star Wars: Darth Vader and the ... Hardcover Collection

Before Marvel's Darth Vader series, Dark Horse published a series of 5-part mini-series based on Darth Vader.  The first mini-series Darth Vader and the Lost Command was released from January 2011 to May 2011.  It was followed by Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison from May 2012 to September 2012, Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin from April 2013 to August 2013, and finally Darth Vader and the Cry of Shadows from December 2013 to April 2014.  By the time this last mini-series was finished, the Star Wars comic license had been awarded to Marvel, so even if Dark Horse had plans for a fifth mini-series, it would not be completed before they lost the license.

Several months after each mini-series was completed, Dark Horse published a hardcover volume collecting the 5 issues.  Each volume retailed for $24.99.
