Star Wars: Republic #72

Aayla Secura takes center stage on this 2004 Dark Horse Clone Wars entry, depicted in a striking undercover disguise — blue skin, flight goggles, and a holstered sidearm suggesting she's deep in dangerous territory far from the Jedi front lines. The cover art by David Michael Beck captures her with a watchful, coiled energy, with looming industrial machinery framing the scene. With John Ostrander and Jan Duursema steering "Trackdown, Part 1 of 2," this issue promises the kind of espionage-flavored Star Wars storytelling that made the Republic series a fan favorite.
