A Marvel ‘Star Wars: The Phantom Menace One-Shot’ Comic Is on the Way!
25 years after the original film’s release, the story of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace will be expanded upon in a new one-shot comic from Marvel.
Star Wars: Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary Special will be written by longtime Darth Vader writer Greg Pak, with Will Sliney providing the artwork.

Far from just a retelling of the film, the upcoming Phantom Menace comic will tell previously untold tales of Anakin from his own point of view. The new stories will weave in and out of the events of the film.
“Celebrating the 25th anniversary of ‘The Phantom Menace’ with an all-new story! Explore the earliest days and secret inner life of Anakin Skywalker with never-before-seen, revelatory stories set before, after and between the scenes of the classic movie!” reads Marvel’s official description of one-shot comic.

“Featuring the dream of a JEDI, the gift of a Tusken Raider, the heart of a Gungan, the ache of a mother and the horror of a hero!”
Pak Is an Anakin Skywalker Expert
As the writer of the Darth Vader comic, Pak is no stranger to the interior world of Anakin Skywalker. That expertise gave him a unique opportunity to tell Anakin’s story during the events of the Phantom Menace.
“Big news! I’m writing a huge anniversary special for ‘The Phantom Menace,’ drawn by Will Sliney, in stores this May!” Pak wrote on his website.
