Bong Dazo had to draw some of the most complicated settings in the Knights of the Old Republic comics — like the comet mining operation in "The Reaping," or the auction house that sold planets, as seen here from "Prophet Motive." He was always up to the challenge. Rest in peace. pic.twitter.com/zRfmrwKK81
