“This talented team of artists is bringing so much passion and enthusiasm to these covers. For me, sharing that passion with fans and readers is a wonderful celebration of the most unique, compelling, and iconic characters in the Star Wars galaxy.”
Sana Starros is a very popular character in the comics, who first appeared in Star Wars #4, and two issues later identified herself as Sana Solo, Han Solo’s wife. She appeared in a lot of issues of the Star Wars comic series initiated in 2015, as well as in several issues of both the first Doctor Aphra series, and the new one too. She also makes an appearance in Daniel José Older’s Last Shot. The character was first introduced as a human female going after Han Solo in the classic woman-on-a-mission style. Once she found him, he joined Solo, Leia, and Chewbacca for a bit.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
