Thrawn: The Manga, Vol. 1

Canon Linked from 4 articles

Thrawn: The Manga, Vol. 1 is the first volume of Man Tsang's manga adaptation of the 2017 novel Thrawn by Timothy Zahn. It was released on June 17, 2026 in the United Kingdom, and will release on September 29, 2026 in the United States and Canada.

According to Tsang, Disney invited him to bid for illustrating the manga based on his work on his Hong Kong comic 0課特工 The ZEROS. According to Tsang's agent, the project's first drafts were made two years before the manga's announcement at Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo, Japan on April 18, 2025, and Thrawn's character design had been revised over three months—balancing between Disney, Lucasfilm, and Man Tsang's busy day job had been challenging, but the agent hopes that the world would recognise Man Tsang's talents and Hong Kong for producing such a distinguished comic artist.
