An exploration in complete artistic freedom, Star Wars Tales was a comic series by Dark Horse in which writers and artists were given free reign to do whatever they wanted. None of it was ever intended to be canon, and yet quite a bit of it easily could have been. I'll be storytiming my favorite bits from this wonderful little series.

This in my opinion remains one of the best Vader hunting down Jedi stories that there are.

With Tales, I always considered anything that was even remotely plausible to be canon. For example, the comics you posted have nothing absurd about them. Dark Horse was great.

those are all EU.
note: it may not contain every single comic & book (maybe a few random series or issues are missing) but it's a good starter pack for anyone that wants to build a digital SWEU library customized and organized to their taste. I'd upload my personal collection which is more complete and based off of that but haven't really gotten a chance to do so and my upload speed isn't terrific.
if you notice something missing just find it with http://libgen.io/ or http://www.hungry-ewok.ru/sw/all_books.htm or torrents
the comics (.cbz/.cbr) are just image archives that you can rename to .rar and edit them however you please (replace/add more covers, replace/scrub any disney/legends logos from new reissues and replace the pages with originals from libgen) you can do the same for the .epubs. It's all customizable. I even have a separate Tales folder with each individual Tale in it's own cbr archive for easier sorting/chronological lists. That's one of the reasons I haven't uploaded my own collection, because there are a lot of duplicate folders due to stuff like this and it's customized for my preferences which might be confusing for others.
