Most readers of the Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica books know that I spent a number of years creating a comic book series called STARCHILD. It was the first journey into the world of Fool’s Hollow … but certainly not the last.

The 20th Anniversary Nearly-Complete Essential StarChild – In the Summer of 2013, on the 20th Anniversary of the first issue’s publication, a Kickstarter project was launched to present a collected volume of every page of story and art of StarChild. That Kickstarter has successfully completed, and rewards will be shipped in October. Additional copies of the 20th Anniversary Nearly-Complete Essential StarChild will be available via the Coppervale website later this year.
