The Wookiee bounty hunter made his debut in Marvel’s Star Wars: Darth Vader (2015) #1. Created by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca, Krrsantan — standing alongside Boba Fett –accepted a job from none other than Darth Vader in his very first appearance.
“Vader’s basically our Luke,” Gillen said of the 2015 ongoing series. “I need to surround him with a cast, so I kind of end up almost mirroring the main Star Wars cast. Aphra ends up taking sort of [a] Han-ish position. And obviously, the droids are the droids, and Black Krrsantan is Chewbacca… But at the same time, I was also thinking, they can’t just be mirrors. They’ve got to be archetypes.”
Krrsantan eventually followed Aphra to her own ongoing series in 2016 and became a part of her crew. But the Wookiee’s intense backstory wasn’t fully explored until Star Wars: Doctor Aphra Annual (2017) #1.
