Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a monthly comic series consisting of twelve issues tied into the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. The first story arc was written by Henry Gilroy, the head writer for the first season of the show. The first issue was released on September 10, 2008. The series was supposed to be composed of only 6 issues but it was so successful that on January 18, 2009, Dark Horse editor Randy Stradley announced 6 more issues. Those issues are composed of two three-part stories, co-written by Henry Gilroy and series writer Steven Melching.

[edit] Publisher's summary

Set in the time between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, this new series will focus on the legendary Clone Wars! Some of your favorite Jedi: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Master Yoda, Master Mace Windu, and others, will be joined by a few new faces as they fight to maintain the true spirit of the Republic.

In addition to the lead story, each issue will feature a backup story by one of the artists from the TV series!

This new series will be a compliment to Lucasfilm's highly anticipated CGI-animated The Clone Wars movie and television programs!
