It’s almost unbelievable to imagine these days, but decades ago adaptations of new films were not only regularly released by Marvel, but they also arrived during the lifespan of the films cinematic release, but that was then and this is now, and so we welcome the latest Star Wars adaptation – 2022’s The Book of Boba Fett – from writer Rodney Barnes and artist Will Sliney on 9th September 2026, the first issue of a seven-issue adaptation that will refresh the memory of the hit Disney Plus TV show.
After his long-awaited return in The Mandalorian, Boba Fett went on to headline his own Disney+ series, The Book of Boba Fett. The hit show reintroduced the iconic bounty hunter to fans everywhere as he navigated the galaxy’s underworld and claimed control of Tatooine following Jabba the Hutt’s fall. This August, in the long-standing tradition of Marvel Comics epic Star Wars adaptations, Marvel brings this pivotal Star Wars saga to comic stands in STAR WARS: BOOK OF BOBA FETT, a seven-issue series by Star Wars veterans Rodney Barnes (Han Solo – Hunt for the Falcon, Ahsoka) and Will Sliney (Rise of Kylo Ren). The comic series marks the exciting comic book debut of several key characters including Garsa Fwip, Dokk Strassi, Mok Shaiz’s majordomo and more!
