Concept
Embark on an exciting journey through the stars! For centuries, people from all over the world have looked up at the night sky and imagined amazing stories from constellations. In “Star Stories,” artists collaborate on new myths for the night sky. We look at existing constellations, then reimagine their imagery and origins. Each artist uses traditional comic art techniques including inking, hand lettering, and paneling to make a comic that illustrates how their constellation came to be. We blend art and storytelling to create a comic compilation book that’s truly out of this world!
