Cantina Comlink is your weekly smuggler’s run spotlighting Star Wars comics as only Marvel can make ‘em!

Bossk’s back in next week's STAR WARS: AGE OF REBELLION – PRINCESS LEIA #1, and he’s gunning for everyone’s favorite Rebel leader...

Some say a little bit of Bossk goes a long way, but that’s usually coming from those on the run from the dreaded Trandoshan bounty hunter. For the rest of us, Bossk’s comic appearances arrive all too briefly and then disappear again into hyperspace, leaving us with a strange, yearning feeling, looking forward to more each time.

While we wait for the new ish, let’s call up his file and take a look at Bossk’s comic adventures in both classic and modern Marvel mags!

A Long Time Ago....

After his introduction on the bridge of Darth Vader’s Star Destroyer in the Empire Strikes Back adaptation taking place in STAR WARS #42, Bossk made a quick appearance in a flashback in the landmark STAR WARS #50. When Leia and Lando ran into Domina Tagge while searching for a cure to the “Crimson Forever” plague, Baron Tagge’s sister told a tale of Bossk and his fellow bounty hunters capturing an immense jewel and its attendant priests from an ancient temple on a far-off planet. The reptilian hunter didn’t see much action then, but the best was still yet to come.

Later, in STAR WARS #67, the Rebels heard rumors of a bounty hunter throwing in with Boba Fett to capture Han Solo, but getting cut out of the deal after it had gone down. Figuring either Dengar, IG-88, or Bossk—described as the “reptilian monarch of the Qotile system”—may have felt slighted enough to narc on Fett and lead them to Han’s whereabouts, Luke, Leia, and Lando set out to check each hunter off their list, one by one.
