Author of STELLARLANDS
This is Gavin.
Gavin doesn’t usually read comics.
Gavin read Stellarlands.
Gavin loved it.
I wrote Stellarlands for readers who crave story, not format. So if you’ve only lived in the world of novels, this is your sign to expand your universe! Stellarlands is now on Prelaunch. Link in comments.

🌟 Hooked by the Book has arrived on the @nerdtooine.bsky.social podscast! Comics that truly captivate the hosts earn a spot — and both Hellion and Bash & Stellarlands are declared co-champions! 🙌

“These titles are so above the standard of what a quote-unquote indie comic should be.”

The many facial expressions in Stellarlands. It’s not so much what they’re looking at but more how their reaction creates an emotional response in you! #comicart

Meet Councilwoman Nanda Palencia — a key figure in Stellarlands 3. As a Galactic Representative on the Terran All-Council, she has commissioned a salvage crew to recover priceless artworks left behind on a derelict space station — abandoned in the wake of an alien assault.

Massive thanks to BrianLCS for his glowing review of Stellarlands!

You can watch the full breakdown on his YouTube, but this quote really stuck with us:
"They feel like they come from a major publisher."

That’s the level we aim for — not just in design, but in storytelling, character, and heart.

STELLARLANDS just won an IPPY award!
That is, an Independent Publisher Book Awards.
Not a comic award. A book award.
Grateful beyond words. This team poured everything into the story.
Comics aren't a gateway to literature. Comics ARE literature. This proves it. 🥈🚀

The writing for "Stellarlands" started during the second Covid lockdown.

No deal. No publisher. Just me, and a story that would speak to me in my dreams.

Fast-forward to this past weekend at SupaNova Sydney - every copy of "Stellarlands" sold out.

We brought boxes. All gone.

New credit on the title page. We got some hardcore science going on in Stellarlands 3, so we brought in a bona fide human PhD in Physics to make sure all the mind-bending science is grounded in reality.

STELLARLANDS 3 is landing—and this chapter takes us to Victorian-era England in the coastal city of Portsmouth… but how does 19th-century England tie into an epic sci-fi saga? You’ll just have to follow to find out.

Things are about to get pretty Victorian around here. So I hope ya'll like your Philip K Dick with a splash of the Bronte Sisters, because issue 3 of Stellarlands is about to bend time! And I can't wait to show you all.

Is that a woman in Regency dress falling into water??
Has Stellarlands—the metahuman sci-fi comic with 2 successful Kickstarters—suddenly gone full Jane Austen?
The age of ballroom etiquette is about to meet the edge of the space politics. Stick around.

I love digital, but there’s really nothing like comic books you can hold. STELLARLANDS 1 & 2 now available on the ComX Shop.

Catherine Gunther just dropped an ace review of Stellarlands!
She wasn’t into my lack of sound effects—but I’ve got a theory. Coming soon. Grateful people are connecting with the story!

“You remember that time in Argentina when I got drunk in a club and got my ass beat by the bouncer?”

“Yeah?”

“That bouncer’s The Pope now.”

(The fact this conversation probably happened…)

This 3-panel comic plays with rhythm. Hero’s flying at full speed, then—hard stop. Mid-flight, they throw up. Total momentum killer. By panel 3, they're back in motion—dragging a messy trail. Hilarious and genius. A perfect rupture in an epic scene.
