Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones #3

The penultimate issue of Dark Horse's 2002 adaptation of Attack of the Clones arrives with a sweeping cover by Tsuneo Sanda that assembles the film's key figures — a determined Anakin Skywalker wielding a blue lightsaber at the forefront, with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Count Dooku looming large behind him, alongside Padmé, the goggled Poggle the Lesser, R2-D2, C-3PO, and a speeder bike cutting through a fiery Tatooine sky. The composition captures the story's mounting tension across multiple fronts, from desert sands to the brewing conflict of the Clone Wars. With interior work by artist Jan Duursema and inker Ray Kryssing bringing George Lucas and Henry Gilroy's script to life, this issue is a satisfying piece of a well-crafted comics adaptation.
