Few Star Wars fans know the name "Valance the Hunter". He is an obscure character from Marvel comics of the late-seventies. Though one largely forgotten Valance is becoming more and more prevalent in Star Wars media.
Valance now has his own line of Marvel comics titled "Bounty Hunters", which is one of the five ongoing Marvel Star Wars titles.
Prerequisites:
Beilert Valance has appeared in the miniseries "Han Solo: Imperial Cadet" and "Target Vader". Both of these series introduce the character into the Disney Universe.
Who Wrote This?
Ethan Sacks has contributed to Star Wars a few times in the last couple of years including the comic series "Galaxy's Edge" and "Allegiance".
Characters:
"Star Wars: Bounty Hunters" features all of the hunters who appear in "The Empire Strikes Back", but Valance is the main character. Valance is a tough anti-hero who is also extremely dangerous. The creators are definitely give out "Terminator" vibes and its worth noting that the character of Valance predates the Terminator.
Why Should I Read It?
Who doesn't love Bounty Hunters? They have always been the coolest characters in Star Wars. They aren't heroes or villains. Hunting bounties is just a way to make a living: a dangerous job in a dangerous galaxy.
