Following Alex Segura and Phil Noto’s flagship Star Wars series launching in May, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra – Chaos Agent will be the second launch in Marvel’s new era of Star Wars storytelling set in the largely unexplored post-Return of the Jedi time period.

Debuting 10 years ago in the pages of Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca’s Darth Vader, Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra instantly captivated fans with her morally questionable nature and deadly dynamic with the Dark Lord of the Sith, becoming the first-ever comic book originating Star Wars character to star in their own solo series. After back-to-back hit 40-issue runs set during the Original Trilogy, Aphra embarks on her most unpredictable misadventures as the galaxy far, far away transforms in the wake of the Battle of Jakku. With her crimes pardoned, Aphra is enlisted by her friend Luke Skywalker to put her treasure hunting skills to good use on behalf of the New Republic!

OUT FROM THE SHADOW OF DARTH VADER AND IN MORE TROUBLE THAN EVER!

Doctor Aphra makes her way through the galaxy in the era of the New Republic! The rogue archaeologist must team up with Luke Skywalker to track down a rare artifact! And what will she do when her tattoos no longer function?!
