The Comic Market or Comiket is a gathering of thousands of self-publishing groups that takes place at the Tokyo International Exhibition Center. Started in 1975, the event now attracts over half a million attendees and sees sales of over 8 million doujinshis or self-published books. Mollo, a Japanese artist who uses the pseudonym Trash 1, was invited to attend Comiket C91 and self-published a well received comic titled After Order 66: Case of Wolffe. Commander Wolffe is a clone trooper introduced in "Rising Malevolence" the second episode of season one of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. He appears in several episodes of that series and is also featured in two episodes of the Star Wars: Rebels animated series.
Commander Wolffe is shown on the front cover of this unofficial fan-made comic. The book is slightly larger than a standard comic, measuring 7" x 10". This 44-page manga has black and white interior pages and comes with a thick cover. The word balloons are in English and Japanese. This is an extremely well made comic and while the artist is considered an amateur, the artwork looks professional.
A followup comic, After Order 66: Case of Rex, was offered at Comiket C92 in August 2017 and is available for order online at Etsy.
