Fan-favorite cartoonist Simon Roy returns with a rich, visually arresting science-fiction collection A Star Called the Sun. This standalone paperback will revisit the same far-future universe as Simon’s previous works—Habitat and Griz Grobus—and feature colors by Sergei Nazarov and Drew Shields. It will hit shelves in February 2026 from Image Comics.

A Star Called the Sun charts a kaleidoscopic journey through the future of humanity and technology across cosmic tales: “Hale-Bopp,” “The Oxpecker and the Elephant,” “Pride of the Central Republic,” “A Portrait of the Artist as Hive Parasite,” “The Ansible,” “The Anchoress,” and finally “Vanguard.”

This expansive tome is shaped by robotic clergy, post-human hive minds, immortal cyborgs, and the lingering impact of ancient alien civilizations.

A Star Called the Sun trade paperback (ISBN 9781534333246) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, February 11 and independent bookstores, Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, February 24.
