For Ep 67, Aphra is back to doing what she loves; finding & selling rare artifacts and almost dying in the process! In the first volume of the 2020 Aphra run, join everyone’s favourite rogue archaeologist with a whole new cast of characters and crazy situations that brings mystery, great dialogue and lots of connections to other Star Wars content that Mike will take you through, including info about the Kubaz species, the Tagge family, cursed bone cities and more!

These comics are set after Empire Strikes Back but before Return Of The Jedi, in 3-4 ABY.

All issues were written by Alyssa Wong, with Marika Cresta as artist and Rachelle Rosenberg as colour artist. Issue 1 was released May 2020, issue 5 was released October 2020 and the trade paperback collection was released January 2021.

For the first run of Aphra comics, check out episodes 63, 59, 55, 51, 46, 42, 36 & 34 of SWCIC and don’t forget to check out the Vader episodes where she was first introduced; 15, 17, 19, 23 & 29!

Check out the last episode of SWCIC where Mike embarked on a Darth Vader story where Jocasta Nu is in the Sith Lord’s sights! Mike tackled the second volume of the 2017 Darth Vader run in a story set just after Revenge Of The Sith where Vader pursues the jedi archivist as she possesses an object that could bring the Empire toppling down, plus Vader is attacked by mercenaries & bounty hunters, so goes up the chain to find out who put the hit on him. Mike also gave additional information on inquisitors, ancient artifacts, a lightsaber rifle and more!
