Publisher's summary

Our Rebel heroes seek help from the Mon Calamari in evacuating their Yavin base, but soon get embroiled in a mystery involving a distress beacon of unknown origin, scads of Imperial troopers, giant sea worms, an amphibian rescue, more giant sea worms, a droid or two, a few more scads of Imperial troopers, and just a bit more excitement than a 32-page color comic book has any right to provide.

Meanwhile, Luke and Threepio are busy escaping a group of Imperial TIE fighters by maneuvering into the slipstream of a comet's tail, which inexorably brings them to a crash landing on the ice planet Hoth. As Luke begins to succumb to the numbing cold, he and Threepio are rescued by Frijo, and she leads them back to her father's cave fortress. Unfortunately, he wants to dismantle Threepio for parts and abandon Luke to the cold Hoth night - all in order to keep their own presence on Hoth a secret. Frija wants to keep Luke alive, for more personal reasons. As we join our story once more, Luke has just managed to subdue Frija's father ...
