In February of this year we got word from StarWars.com that the comic world is getting an 8 part episode-by-episode adaption of The Mandalorian Season 1 in comic form. Meaning each of the eight comic issues would adapt the corresponding episode of the show into illustrated format.
Check This Out: Star Wars Mandalorian Comic Series Checklist | All Variants From All 8 Issues
What made this exciting is that the Disney+ show introduced Star Wars fans to a ton of new characters in the show. Characters who will have an impact on the galaxy for years to come. Meaning this comic series will give us the first appearances of some of the most popular characters that Star Wars characters in traditional comic format.
With the first issue on July 6th we’ll be getting first appearances from Din Djarin (Mando), Grogu (Baby Yoda), Greef Karga, The Armorer, Kuiil, IG-11, Cara Dune, Fennec Shand, among others. From a first appearances standpoint the series will be a heavy hitter.
Because of that and because we know that Din and Grogu will appear in the first issue, interest in the book is high. Like… really high.
So much that cover artists and comic stores have been partnering up with Marvel for store exclusive covers like crazy. So much that it can be hard to keep track of. We’ve been posting ever cover we see on the drunkwooky instagram account but wanted to compile them all in one place.
This post is (hopefully) going to help. Below is every cover that we know of thus far. I will be updating this list as we get more releases, teasers, and reveals.
Also don’t forget to get your pre-orders in on TFAW before Monday’s FOC deadline.
Ok… let’s dive in…

The Mandalorian #1 Nakayama Exclusive Variant
New Mandalorian #1 variant cover by the great David Nakayama for Big TIme Collectibles featuring Mando firing off his wrist flame thrower. Nice to see some covers that are more than Din just walking away from a sunset.

The Mandalorian #1 Yagawa/Cheng Exclusive Variant (Buy On Ebay)

The Mandalorian #1 Duursema Exclusive
Ok so here’s the deal with this one. The cover artist is the legendary Jan Duursema and it was created for ComicXposure. The moment it came out I got a bunch of messages telling me that this seller is not reliable. In full transparency though I have never bought from them. But I did take a look at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) page and it’s not pretty.
However, I did notice that drewbiz (a reliable ebay seller) is also selling them at the same price as ComicXposure. Your choice. Again I have no personal experience with ComicXposure. Just sharing what I’ve been told.
The Mandalorian #1 Cummings Exclusive
We’ve got another store exclusive on the board with Steven Cummings for Modern Era Comics.
Trade Dress- 3000 Print Run – Regular price $24.95. Virgin Variant- 1000 Print Run – Regular price $34.95
Bundle will include both Trade dress and Virgin Covers for $49.99
The Mandalorian #1 McCrea Exclusive
Next up is John McCrea’s cover for Ludicrous Speed Collectibles. One of the few covers at the moment with an action shot. I spoke with the owner on Facebook messenger. They are working on a new shopping cart site to buy but you can also buy right now on their Facebook page here. It’s a unique way of selling an exclusive but I don’t hate it.
**UPDATE** Here’s the direct link to buy from their site.

The Mandalorian #1 Lashley Exclusive
This fantastic Lashley cover is through Stadium Comics. Only Trade Dress available. 3000 printed at $14.99 a piece. One cool thing that Stadium is doing is including packages that include the retail incentive ration variants with this book for additional cost.
