Count Dooku

A former Jedi Master who grew disillusioned with the Galactic Republic, Count Dooku renounced the Order and became a Dark Side acolyte under Darth Sidious, assuming the Sith name Darth Tyranus while publicly leading the Separatist movement against the Republic.

Steeped in aristocratic menace and dark-side gravitas, Count Dooku made his comics debut in the Modern Age with Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones #3 in 2002, and has cast his long shadow across nearly a quarter-century of IDW and related Star Wars publishing. His 49 catalogued appearances span titles like Star Wars Adventures, Star Wars: Republic, and Star Wars: Jedi Knights, placing him in rarefied company — sharing pages with the likes of Mace Windu, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Aayla Secura. For collectors drawn to the grand, operatic conflicts of the prequel era, Dooku is a figure whose presence on any cover signals that the stakes are as high as the galaxy gets.
