12 Star Wars Graphic Novels You Must Read Before You Die

1. Tag And Bink Are Dead

Star Wars Darth Vader Comic
Dark Horse Comics

The Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead to Star Wars' Hamlet, these are the adventures of Tag Greenley and Bink Otuana, two Rebels who escaped Vader's attack on the Tantive IV by hiding out in stormtrooper armor and bumbling their way through the major events in the original trilogy (and beyond).

Far more clever and more entertaining than a simple alternate history or comedic take on the saga (a la "The Secret Tales of Luke's Hand" in Star Wars Tales, Volume 2), this is a well-plotted, hilarious, and surprisingly insightful glimpse of the story we thought we knew. This should be no surprise, as Rubio is also responsible for the classic COPS parody TROOPS.

Hell, the characters nearly made a cameo in this year's Han Solo film. The perfect mix of humor and fan-fueled nostalgia, the Tag and Bink stories are can't miss fun.
