Star Wars #47

C-3PO and R2-D2 take center stage on this May 1981 Marvel issue, the golden protocol droid urging his squat counterpart to keep running as a wild menagerie of bizarre mechanical and alien beings crowds in around them — the cover text warns that "there is no escape from… Droid World!" Frank Miller's pencils and James Sherman's inks give the scene a wonderfully kinetic energy, with a looming red robot wielding a lightsaber among the colorful chaos. It's a fun, visually busy cover that promises an adventure placing everyone's favorite droid duo in distinctly over their heads.
