CHEWIE!!!
May the 4th be with you!

This May 4th we highlight everyone’s favorite woolly character, Chewbacca the Wookiee – or, as Princess Leia once referred to him as “this big walking carpet.” Trusty first officer of Han Solo’sMillennium Falcon, he is loyal, fearsome, and a Wookiee of … well, many words, but all of it unintelligible.

These images are from the Dark Horse comic book Star Wars, Chewbacca, produced as a limited series of four issues published from January 2000 to April 2000 (we only hold numbers 2-4). The story is written by Darko Macan. The credits for the issues shown here are as follows:

Issue No. 2: illustrated by Jan Duursema and Dave Gibbons, penciled by Dusty Abell, inked by Jim Royal, and colored by Color Graphix, Angus McKie, and Dave Nestelle.
Issue No. 3: illustrated by Martin Egeland and Kilian Plunkett, penciled by John Nadeau, inked by Jordi Ensign, and colored by Dan Jackson, Color Graphix, and Dave Nestelle.
Issue No. 4: illustrated by Rafael Kayanan, penciled by Dusty Abell, inked by Jim Royal, and colored by Heroic Age and Dave Nestelle. 

Our copy is a gift from our comic book consultant Jim Lowder.
