Peach Momoko Writes & Draws Darth Vader: Black, White & Red

Marvel are launching a new Black, White & Red series for Darth Vader, with Jason Aaron, Peach Momoko, Leonard Kirk, Torunn Grønbekk and more.

Marvel will be launching a new Black, White & Red anthology series focusing on Darth Vader, in April, with creators including Jason Aaron, Peach Momoko, Leonard Kirk, Torunn Grønbekk and more. The first time they have used that format for a non-Marvel character. But because it's Star Wars, it's Black, White & Red rather than the usual Black, White & Blood, following previous examples that featured Wolverine, Elektra, and Deadpool.

The stories that await in Star Wars: Darth Vader – Black, White & Red will be crafted by an all-star lineup of comics talent including Jason Aaron! The superstar New York Times bestselling writer who helped launch Marvel's current Star Wars comics to great success in 2015 and penned some of Vader's most iconic comic book moments along the way, returns to a galaxy far, far away! Aaron will team up with fellow Star Wars mastermind Leonard Kirk for a rousing saga that will span all four issues. The debut issue will also include a story written and drawn by visionary creator Peach Momoko in her first-ever interior work for a Star Wars comic and mark the Star Wars debut of acclaimed writer Torunn Grønbekk.

"'All I am surrounded by is fear. And dead men.' That moment from 'Vader Down' is still one of my favorite things I've written during my time at Marvel. I loved getting to let Darth Vader cut loose with all his power in such an epic way. And I couldn't pass up the chance to revel in the dark side again and put Vader in an even more perilous situation… and then see how he carves his way out" – Jason Aaron

"This is a project we've been waiting to do for a while and we've got more amazing talent lined up that I can't wait to announce," Editor Mark Paniccia said. "It's such a thrill to use this unique storytelling approach on one of the greatest villains in the galaxy."
