C-3PO

Few characters bridge the galaxy far, far away and the rich tradition of Franco-Belgian comics publishing quite like this version of C-3PO, whose catalog journey began in 1978 with Strange #108 under the hands of Steve Gerber and Bob Brown — a Bronze Age debut that planted the golden protocol droid firmly in the pages of Editions Lug. Across 43 years of publication, C-3PO keeps some of the most iconic company in science fiction, sharing adventures with Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Princesse Leia Organa, Chewbacca, and even Anakin Skywalker across titles like Titans, Star Wars, and Star Wars Comics Collector. With two key collector-significant issues to his name, this particular publishing incarnation carries genuine weight for fans who love hunting the international corners of comics history. If your collection runs deeper than the obvious stops, C-3PO's Editions Lug appearances are a wonderfully distinctive chapter worth seeking out.
