Han Solo and Chewbacca are some of the most known duos in movie history, and now they’ll have a chance to be the same on the pages of the comic book.

As StarWars.com reported, Marvel is set to release Han Solo & Chewbacca, a comic book series written by the Arrowwriter Marc Guggenheim and illustrated by David Messina. The comic will follow the adventures of Han and Chewbacca before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. So, chronologically, it’s set in the Star Wars timeline somewhere between Solo: A Star Wars Story and A New Hope. Hand and Chewie will team up with Greedo to pull off the heist for one and only – Jabba the Hutt. 

“It’s interesting because the cornerstone of Han’s character is that he wants to be a jerk, a selfless criminal, but has this idealistic streak that always gets in his way. He aspires to cynicism, but deep down, he’s a hopeless romantic at heart. Now, you might think that that inner conflict didn’t present itself until the end of Episode IV, when Han returns to help Luke destroy the Death Star, but it’s already on full display at the end of Solo: A Star Wars Story, which, of course, predates Episode IV. So one of the things I’ve been playing with is the tension between the “hopeless romantic” Han reveals himself to be at the end of Solo and the hard-bitten cynic we meet in Episode IV. To be very reductive about it, I’ve searched for opportunities to force Han to choose between his lesser and greater angels.” — Marc Guggenheim for StarWars.com

Marc Guggenheim is a television and comic book writer best known for the TV show Arrow. He also worked on Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, Law & Order, CSI: Miami, etc. Last year it was announced that he’s developing the script for Jackpot, a superhero movie set in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. Illustrator David Messina is best known for his work on comic books Star Trek: Countdown and Star Trek: Nero.

Han Solo & Chewbacca comic book series will launch in March 2022.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
