First appearance of the Darksaber

Star Wars: Darth Maul – Son of Dathomir #1 – 2014, published by Dark Horse Comics, begins a powerful and lore-rich limited series that draws directly from unproduced scripts for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Written by Jeremy Barlow, with art by Juan Frigeri, this issue marks the official continuation of Darth Maul’s journey after his fall and subsequent rise from the shadows.

Captured by Darth Sidious, betrayed by his allies, and stripped of his former power base, Maul finds himself imprisoned—but not broken. As the Dark Lord of the Sith manipulates galactic events behind the scenes, Maul’s cunning, rage, and deep ties to Dathomir push him to strike back. What follows is a gripping tale of escape, vengeance, and the complex interplay between Sith Lords, Mandalorians, and the dark magicks of the Nightsisters.

Jeremy Barlow crafts a layered narrative that fills a significant gap in canon, expanding Maul’s arc in a way that enriches both the character and the larger Star Wars mythos. This is no filler tale—it is an essential link between The Clone Wars and the wider story of the Sith’s schemes.

Juan Frigeri’s artwork brings the story to life with detailed action sequences, dynamic panel layouts, and strong emotional expressions. From grim fortresses to the war-torn landscapes of Dathomir, the visual tone strikes a perfect balance between brooding and bombastic. Maul is illustrated with chilling intensity—his hatred practically leaping from the page.

This first issue is more than just a continuation—it’s a reclamation of power, a resurrection of legacy, and a bold reaffirmation that Maul’s story is far from over. For fans of the animated series, the Mandalorian legacy, or the dark corners of the Force, this is a key collectible.

Every comic is handled with care—sealed in an archival-quality, acid-free sleeve, supported with a firm backing board to maintain its condition. It is then dispatched in a strong, fold-over book mailer to ensure maximum protection during delivery. Rapid UK shipping and secure packaging are guaranteed.

Star Wars: Darth Maul – Son of Dathomir #1 – 2014 is a powerful canon expansion that re-establishes Maul as a cunning force of vengeance, strategy, and raw will.
