Imperial Entanglements

Imperial Entanglements is a gen and slash 215-page anthology focusing on Darth Vader and other Imperial characters.
A related zine is The Sith Yearbook (labeled "Imperial Entanglements" #2 and #3).
This zine has art by Roz Ludwig, eluki be shahar, Jeff Wilcox, Kevin Martin, J.R. Dunster, and Carol Waterman. The flyer also stated that it had "poetry, cartoons, the Imperial Rating, our unique collection of tacky stormtrooper jokes, AND a candidate for The Other we guarantee you've never seen before."
The zine's flyer noted that it "contains some material involving same-sex relationships." These two stories are is "Deep Cover" and the other one is Hoth Admiral. The latter gained MUCH exposure and attention as it was a flashpoint in the 1981 attempts by George Lucas to control fan content, specifically in regards to that which included male/male relationships and what he considered explicit male/female relationships. "Deep Cover" likely escaped the attention "Hoth Admiral" got because while both stories take place in the Star Wars universe, "Deep Cover" features two original characters and "Hoth Admiral" features Admiral Piett, a creation of Lucas.
