Doctor Aphra #38

Doctor Aphra and a wide-eyed companion lean over a brilliantly glowing artifact resting on a stone surface deep within a cave — while a Stormtrooper stands silhouetted at the cave entrance above, weapon in hand, suggesting the Empire is closer than anyone would like. Ashley Witter's cover art captures that perfect tension between wonder and danger, with the artifact's warm golden light washing over Aphra's characteristically cool, confident smirk. "A Rogue's End Part II," written by Simon Spurrier with art by Caspar Wijngaard and colors by Lee Loughridge, promises the kind of high-stakes archaeological mischief that makes this series so much fun.
