- "When we started, we hoped we'd make it to twelve issues. In my naivete, I dropped certain breadcrumbs that I hoped we would get to pay off, so I feel lucky that it was successful enough to still be going years later, to the stage that I could tie up the loose ends I kept leaving. It could have gone the other way and ended abruptly. I'm very grateful that readers liked the story enough to keep it going."
- ―Ethan Sacks reflects on Bounty Hunters
Star Wars: Bounty Hunters is a Star Wars comic book series written by Ethan Sacks, illustrated by Paolo Villanelli, and published by Marvel Comics beginning on March 11, 2020.[1] The series features the bounty hunters Beilert Valance, Boba Fett and Bossk, and takes place between the events of Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. The series' third issue was originally supposed to release on April 8, 2020, but, on April 1, 2020, Marvel Comics was forced to stall their publishing line due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] Eventually, Marvel Comics resumed its publishing line and included the third issue in its initial lineup for June 24, 2020.[7] According to Sacks, overcoming trauma is a major theme of the series.[8]
