Vader's Quest is a four issue comic book miniseries set in the Star Wars expanded universe, written by Darko Macan and drawn by Dave Gibbons and Angus McKie.

Synopsis

Darth Vader (the titular Sith Lord) hires bounty hunters (including Brazzo, Selle, 4-D, Mala Mala, B-6, and Ban Papeega) to find out who was responsible for the destruction of the Death Star. Thurlow Harris, a captured and tortured Rebel pilot who survived the Death Star battle, who returned to his homeworld of Centares, informs him of the pilot's identity—Vader's son, Luke Skywalker—and Vader sets up a plan for catching him, which eventually fails on Jazbina. This series depicts the first meeting between Luke and his father, and a Rebel pilot, Jal Te Gniev, is jealous and resentful of Luke destroying the Death Star, due to having measles during the Battle of Yavin.
