Droids #6

C-3PO and R2-D2 take center stage in a gleaming bubble against a star-filled purple cosmos, while Chewbacca, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker crowd the edges — and a shadowy Darth Vader looms ominously in the background alongside the Millennium Falcon streaking below. Threepio's worried speech bubble ("Artoo — gulp — I'm afraid our lives will never be the same!") sets an anxious, adventure-filled tone perfectly suited to launching a three-part saga. With cover art by Ernie Colón and Marie Severin, this February 1987 Star Comics/Marvel issue brings the whole beloved cast together through the droid duo's uniquely flustered perspective.
