Mad Cave Studios and their Papercutz imprint announced The Mandalorian and Grogu: Danger in the Dark today, and what better day to reveal the first original comic one-shot starring Din Djarin and Grogu? The book goes on sale in July.
Written by Delilah S. Dawson with art by Arianna Florean, the story is set just before the events of the upcoming Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu film and follows Din Djarin and Grogu as they venture into the lava tubes beneath Nevarro to defuse a crashed pirate ship, joined by a crew of Anzellan droidsmiths.
Additional artists on the one-shot include Brent Schoonover, Juni Ba and Ramon Rosanas, who also provides the cover. Layouts are by Mario del Pennino.
Marvel published comics adapting episodes of the Disney+ series a few years ago, but this marks the first original comic story featuring the characters. The one-shot also marks Grogu’s first appearance in kids’ comics. Papercutz, an imprint of Mad Cave Studios, focuses on middle-grade comics and graphic novels.
The Mandalorian and Grogu: Danger in the Dark will come out July 22.
