Crimson Jack

Few villains made their mark on the galaxy far, far away quite like Crimson Jack, who burst onto the scene in Marvel's Star Wars #7 back in 1978 — right in the thick of the Bronze Age, when Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin were helping define what a Star Wars comic could be. This scarlet-hued space pirate carved out his corner of the Marvel Star Wars universe alongside some of the saga's most beloved icons, sharing pages with Han Solo, Chewbacca, and the droids themselves. Though his catalog footprint is select, his appearances span a remarkable stretch from 1978 all the way to 2022, with Star Wars: The Halcyon Legacy keeping his legacy alive decades after his debut. For collectors who love the wild, swashbuckling energy of Marvel's early Star Wars run, Crimson Jack is exactly the kind of Bronze Age gem worth hunting down.
