This is the final volume of reformatted newspaper comic strips from 1981-1984 describing Luke, Han, and Leia's adventures during the time between the end of Star Wars, the movie, and the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back. Their previous rebel base has been destroyed and our heroes must escape an Imperial blockade on the world of the Mon Calimari in order to establish a new base on the ice planet of Hoth. Al Williamson, best known for his work on Weird Fantasy and Flash Gordon, provided the lavish artwork.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slightly weaker part 3 to the early adventures., Jul 23 2003
By JediMack (VALRICO, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This is a review of the Dark horse TPB comic Classic Star Wars volume 3 - Escape to Hoth. Dark Horse did an excellent job collecting and enhancing newspaper comic strips from the early 1980's. The pencil work is good, but here, who was that lady pretending to be Leia? The stories are fun and worthwhile.

It does seem that Dark horse has let the quality of its art and writing slide a bit as they went along here. Volume 1 and 2 are the best. Volume 3 is OK, and volume 4 is only fair. I gave them all 3 stars because the stories can be a fun journey that DOES fit in with the movies.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Mixed Package, Oct 21 2001
Here is probably one of the most unique SW comics. The reformatted serial comic strip from the days of yore has a feel all its own, which can be both good and bad. nonetheless, it throughout contains an adventurous Star Wars-type feel. The art has a very comic-strip-serial quality too it and fails to acheive a dynamic sense like many other comics, despite the reformatting. I've also noticed that Leia looks nothing like Carrie Fisher for some odd reason that presently eludes me. The massive collection feautures a long line of stories ranging from high-quality to utter blabber. The actual evacuation from Hoth and its subsequent excape is the real gem of the collection, featuring a sense of drama and suspense rarely seen in any Star Wars story. It also helps greatly to fill in the story of the war between ANH and ESB.

It's not in any means the best SW comic out there, but its a reasonably enjoyable and interesting series of adventures highlightesdby an excellent 1st 1/3.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Star Wars completists, Sep 20 2001
By Benjamin Denes (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just like the two other releases in the Archie Goodwin classics ('Deadly Pursuit' and 'Rebel Storm') Escape to Hoth offers mediocre stories and art. One positive about these books is that they do offer some continuity and fill the gap between 'A New Hope' and 'Empire Strikes Back'. Buy if you love Star Wars, but ignore otherwise.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read and historical reference for any Star Wars fan!
This graphic novel is a great history filler for the time that lapsed between A New Hope and Empire. Read more
