THE MANDAWHORIAN Blank Sketch Cover (Parody/Satire) Issue #1: "The Bounty Hunter with Benefits" ONE MILLION CREDITS. ONE TINY TARGET. ONE VERY BAD DECISION. Dinah Djinn is the best bounty hunter in the galaxy—and she knows it. Clad in armor polished to a mirror shine, the Mandawhorian clone takes contracts others won't touch and walks away richer every time. So when a shadowy client offers a fortune for a "simple retrieval," Dinah doesn't ask questions. She should have asked questions. Her destination: Naughtyo—where credits and morals go to die. Her target: a pint-sized, green-skinned Force-user named Baybay Hoeda, who's been enchanting the cantina's toughest criminals into lovesick puppies with nothing more than a coo and a wink. But Dinah's not the only hunter on the trail. A squad of identical rival bounty hunters wants the same prize, and they're not interested in sharing. What follows is a blaster-blazing, rooftop-leaping, Force-kissing chase through neon-soaked streets—with Dinah discovering that her tiny target might just be the galaxy's most unlikely partner. Between a steamy encounter with the enigmatic information broker Zara, a cantina brawl that rewrites the rules of combat, and a mysterious employer whose true motives remain hidden in shadow, Dinah will face the hardest choice of her career: Complete the contract... or protect the one being who sees past the armor? Featuring sensual encounters that serve the story, action sequences that dazzle, and the beginning of an unlikely partnership that will reshape the galaxy—The Mandawhorian delivers mature Star Wars parody with genuine heart. This is the way... with benefits. "A love letter to Star Wars wrapped in satire, seduction, and surprisingly sincere emotion." TO BE CONTINUED IN ISSUE #2: "THE SEDUCTION OF THE SITH"
