Retro Dark Horse

Star Wars: Tales From the Clone Wars - Webcomic Collection Season 1

There were several online comics published on StarWars.com in conjunction with the first three seasons of The Clone Wars television series.  For season one, 21 online comic shorts were created for the broadcast episodes with artwork by a variety of artist.  The earliest shorts have artwork that looks rushed, but by the end of the first season, the artwork had improved from all the contributing artists.  I feel the work provided by Jeff Carlisle is the most polished, but unfortunately he contributed the fewest pages.

These first season of online comics are collected in a trade paperback published by Dreams and Visions Press in collaboration with Dark Horse Comics.  The trade paperback was originally a Celebration V and StarWarsShop exclusive, but it apparently can still be purchased from the Dreams and Visions Press website.

- Dark Horse Comics/Dreams and Visions Press, U.S. (August 2010)
There is a copy of this trade paperback listed on eBay with an asking price of $363.75.  It also says the book is limited to 500 copies.  I have not found any other source that can backup the 500 copy claim.  If you are looking for a copy, it might be worth seeing if the book listed on the publisher's site for $25 is still available.
