Greedo

Greedo is a Rodian bounty hunter who confronts Han Solo in the Mos Eisley cantina on Tatooine, working as an enforcer for the gangster Jabba the Hutt. His brief but iconic appearance established him as a memorable figure in the Star Wars galaxy.

Few characters have made such an outsized impression relative to their page time as Greedo, the memorable alien bounty hunter who slithered into comics history in Marvel Special Edition Featuring Star Wars #1 in 1977 — right at the dawn of the Bronze Age's most electrifying licensing coup. Brought to life by the legendary team of Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin, Greedo shares the page with some of the galaxy's biggest names: Han Solo, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, C-3PO, and even Anakin Skywalker. That debut issue carries genuine key-issue status among collectors, a testament to just how culturally charged that first Marvel Star Wars wave truly was. Across 45 years of appearances — including turns in Star Wars: Han Solo & Chewbacca — Greedo remains one of those deliciously iconic faces that reminds you why the Bronze Age was such a thrilling time to be reading comics.
