Publisher's summary

Tag Greenley and Bink Otauna are Rebel officers fighting against Emperor Palpatine and his army -- until one fateful day, aboard a freighter carrying Princess Leia and the stolen plans for the Death Star, their lives change forever. During an attack on the freighter, Tag and Bink choose life over death, and "borrow" the armor off a pair of deceased stormtroopers to avoid being killed. Their new disguises get them off the freighter alive and send them off on an adventure neither of them could have predicted! Tag & Bink Are Dead is written by Kevin Rubio (creator of the internet film sensation TROOPS and the hilarious short stories "A Death Star Is Born" and "Force Fiction" from Star Wars Tales) and illustrated by the masterful Lucas Marangon.

Opening crawl

Episode IV.1
Tag and Bink Are Dead

It is a period of great
strife and turmoil at
DARK HORSE COMICS.
With Episode II still months away,
editors struggle to meet the
demand for new
STAR WARS comics,
brought on by a
ravenous and unforgiving fan base.

Dark Horse Editor DAVE LAND,
in a move that he now regrets,
commissions the ever late,
always procrastinating KEVIN RUBIO
to concoct a two part comedic story about
two young Rebel officers set during
the time of Episode IV.

Even now as you read this,
Kevin struggles to meet the
deadline for the next book,
and artist LUCAS MARANGON is
slowly going insane because of the
impossible visuals
Kevin has asked for in the
limited time that is left to draw the book.
Turn the page and let the
hilarious adventures commence…
