Star Wars: Droids #1

The galaxy's most beloved mechanical duo — C-3PO and R2-D2 — take center stage on this striking opener to Dark Horse's six-issue 1994 miniseries, with Cam Kennedy's crisp linework rendering the golden protocol droid and his compact astromech companion against a dramatic shadowed backdrop. It's a clean, confident cover that lets the characters speak for themselves, and inside, writer Dan Thorsland and artist Bill Hughes are along for whatever adventure awaits these two. A fine starting point for fans who've always wondered what Threepio and Artoo get up to when the heroes aren't around.
