Rahzzah Murdock's artwork has adorned many Star Wars variant covers and he provided the artwork for the Mile High Comics exclusive covers for issues #38 - 43. The covers are themed, showing a hero of the Rebel Alliance in the foreground and a leader in the background. The leaders are all shown in front of a screen in a Rebel communications room.
Issue #38 show Mon Mothma, the leader of the Rebel Alliance, and Luke Skywalker.

The leaders of the Rebel Alliance do not get many cover appearances, so I find this set of six covers to be a nice addition to the myriad of variant covers that have been published by Marvel. The appearance of the other heroes on these covers seems superfluous as the images of the leaders would have been sufficient.
