Doctor Aphra #29

Doctor Aphra blasts off in style on this cover by Ashley Witter — the roguish archaeologist is caught mid-flight on a jetpack, aviator goggles and leather cap in place, blaster raised with characteristic confidence, her tattooed arm a striking visual detail against the warm, hazy backdrop. It's a portrait that captures Aphra's freewheeling, anything-for-the-score personality perfectly. Writer Simon Spurrier and artist Emilio Laiso, with colors by Rachelle Rosenberg, continue "Worst Among Equals" here in part four — a great jumping-on point if you've been curious about Marvel's most entertainingly self-serving Star Wars adventurer.
