Taking place after the events of Return of the Jedi, STAR WARS: DOCTOR APHRA – CHAOS AGENT is a fresh ongoing series from writer Cherish Chen and artist Gabriel Guzman, debuting this June.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- She's back! Announced earlier today at Collider, Marvel's very own Star Wars superstar, DOCTOR APHRA, will headline a new ongoing comic series this June written by rising star Cherish Chen (Radiant Red) and drawn by acclaimed longtime Star Wars artist Gabriel Guzman. Following Alex Segura and Phil Noto's flagship Star Wars series launching in May, STAR WARS: DOCTOR APHRA – CHAOS AGENT will be the second launch in Marvel's new era of Star Wars storytelling set in the largely unexplored post-Return of the Jedi time period.



Debuting 10 years ago in the pages of Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca's Darth Vader, Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra instantly captivated fans with her morally questionable nature and deadly dynamic with the Dark Lord of the Sith, becoming the first-ever comic book originating Star Wars character to star in their own solo series. After back-to-back hit 40-issue runs set during the Original Trilogy, Aphra embarks on her most unpredictable misadventures as the galaxy far, far away transforms in the wake of the Battle of Jakku. With her crimes pardoned, Aphra is enlisted by her friend Luke Skywalker to put her treasure hunting skills to good use on behalf of the New Republic!

OUT FROM THE SHADOW OF DARTH VADER AND IN MORE TROUBLE THAN EVER!

Doctor Aphra makes her way through the galaxy in the era of the New Republic! The rogue archaeologist must team up with Luke Skywalker to track down a rare artifact! And what will she do when her tattoos no longer function?!

"In my humble opinion, there isn't a more fun character to be writing in the Star Wars galaxy than the one and only Doctor Aphra," Chen told Collider. "Cooking up new adventures for her in this new era, throwing her into increasingly tricky moral quandaries, and testing her resolve (alongside some familiar faces) has truly been like playing in the ultimate sandbox. Our favorite chaos agent is back, and I cannot wait to share what we've been working on and for you all to see Gabriel's incredibly dynamic art."
