New York, NY—October 12th, 2016 — Because you demanded it! Following the blockbuster finale of
Darth Vader #25, the fan-favorite character begins a new journey in STAR WARS: DOCTOR APHRA #1 – the new ongoing series
coming this December! From superstar writer Kieron Gillen (Darth Vader) and
fan-favorite artist Kev Walker (Marvel Zombies) comes Marvel’s first ongoing series starring an original character created in the comics!
“What I wanted to do was show what makes Aphra tick,” says writer Kieron Gillen, in an
interview with StarWars.com. “That’s the work I feel I’ve got to do
with the character, and that kind of push and pull she has between the
stuff she does, which is good and bad”.
Following her time in the clutches of Darth Vader,
Doctor Aphra has barely escaped with her life. If he ever learns of her
survival, he’ll hunt her to the ends of the galaxy. But for now, it’s
time for a return to what she does best. With
the droids 0-0-0 and BT-1 in tow, she’s off in search of rare artifacts
from the galactic center to the Outer Rim and everywhere in between.
Aphra’s got debts to pay after all. Just as long as she can stay one
step ahead of the Empire, some Bounty Hunters
and just about everyone else in the galaxy!
“We all love Aphra so much,” says Star Wars line
Editor Jordan D. White. “We were overjoyed that she found a way to
survive the wrath of the Dark Lord. Now, she’s free to continue her
rogueish adventures in digging up old droids
and weaponry and selling them to the highest bidder…so long as she can
stay off the Imperial radar.”
This December, the Star Wars
galaxy expands into thrilling new directions as Doctor Aphra makes her
explosive solo debut. It’s high adventure in deep space when
STAR WARS: DOCTOR APHRA #1 comes to comic shops and digital devices everywhere!
