Star Wars: Doctor Aphra

Marvel’s Star Wars: Doctor Aphra (2020–2024) is a compact seven-issue series that plunges the unscrupulous archaeologist Chelli Lona Aphra back into the shadows of the galaxy far, far away. Following her near-death encounter with Darth Vader, Aphra finds herself entangled with the ruthless corporate heir Domina Tagge, while Anakin Skywalker and the bounty hunter Boushh add layers of dark-side intrigue. Illustrated by a rotating team including Minkyu Jung, Ray-Anthony Height, and Sara Pichelli, this run deepens Aphra’s morally gray corner of the Star Wars universe, cementing her as a vital, chaotic force in Marvel’s post–Return of the Jedi era. It’s a must-read for fans who love high-stakes heists and the messy consequences of surviving the Empire’s wrath.
