Wild Stars: The Book of Circles

75,000 years ago, mankind first migrated into space and colonized the brightest stars in the night sky -- calling them the WILD STARS. Now, in modern times, their war against the planet destroying Brothan has reached Old Atlantis, the world also known as Earth. THE BOOK OF CIRCLES is the culmination of a 20 year project: a 288 page graphic novel that collects both new and remastered material from the 9 WILD STARS comics and portfolio. "This time-traveling saga delves into the briny deep and the seas of space with equal aplomb," was the review from The Comic Shop News. Comic Book Electronic Magazine said the WILD STARS comics contain "Real Treasure," and Comic Book Resources described them as "Absolutely beautiful stuff." Created, Written and Illustrated by Michael Tierney, artwork is also provided by comics legend Frank Brunner (Dr. Strange, Howard the Duck) and veteran illustrators Dave Simons (Savage Sword of Conan), David Brewer (Legion of Super-Heroes), and Tom Smith (JLA/Avengers). Also featured are the incredible landscape paintings of Mary Tierney.
