C-3PO

Few characters bridge the gap between beloved screen icon and printed page quite like C-3PO, who made his Panini Deutschland catalog debut in Star Wars #1 in 2015, courtesy of the creative team of Jason Aaron, Michael Nagula, and John Cassaday. This Modern Age edition places the golden protocol droid squarely in the company of the saga's heaviest hitters — Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Anakin Skywalker, and the ever-faithful R2-D2 — across Star Wars, Star Wars Reprint, and Star Wars Sonderband. With 23 appearances spanning a full decade of publishing, C-3PO proves his enduring presence in the comic realm just as reliably as he does everywhere else in the galaxy far, far away. If you're building out a Star Wars comics collection, this is one droid you're absolutely looking for.
