As part of the Star Wars Day celebrations, Doctor Aphra will be receiving a special digital comic.
After suffering a coronavirus delay, Aphra's newest comic series will debut digitally on Star Wars Day, May 4. Following its digital release, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #1, which was penned by Alyssa Wong and illustrated by Marika Cresta, will hit physical shelves on May 27.
The new series will be set in the aftermath of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and will give Aphra a new mission and a new crew, with the potential to land the score of a lifetime. However, with the Rebel Alliance on the run following its defeat at the Battle of Hoth, it has never been a more dangerous time for outlaws and rogues.
Doctor Aphra first debuted in the Star Wars universe in the comic Star Wars: Darth Vader #3 in March 2015. Since then, she has cemented herself as a fan-favorite character. Her first solo series launched in December 2016 and ended in December 2019. She has also been the subject of several toys and appeared in the video game, Star Wars: Force Arena.
