First Appearance

First Appearance Winloss and Nokk

Winloss and Nokk are a husband and wife monster-hunting team.  Winloss is a human who wears a backpack that includes mechanical legs and arms that augment his agility and strength.  Nokk is a Trandosian who does not believe in killing innocent creatures.  The duo have a quirky relationship and their banter is lovably entertaining.  In their first appearance in Doctor Aphra Annual #2, they believe Doctor Aphra hires them to capture a monster for a crime boss, but Aphra really wants them to free her from the Shadowfang Beast that swallowed her whole.

Winloss and Nokk's first cover appearance is on the variant edition of Doctor Aphra Annual #2.  It shows Winloss in the foreground hanging onto a wall with the help of his backpack while Nokk is holding onto his legs.  Aphra is walking away from them with a backpack full of treasure.  This scene is not actually in the story, but instead, Winloss steals the artifact Aphra retrieved before she flies away using a rocket backpack.  They do not appear on the standard cover which shows Doctor Aphra running from the Shadowfang Beast.
