Summary

Astromythos: the groundbreaking new mythology of the stars

Explore a universe where white dwarfs, red giants, comets, moons, and black hole kings dwell as characters in a story, written and illustrated as an original epic poem.

What is this project?

Astromythos: Book One is a story of how the stars came to be, and their fight to save each other from destructive forces looking to rid the universe of its light.

Fight for your light

Once upon a time, when only darkness filled the cosmos, something called "a star" appeared...a source of light in the void of space. And it would change the cosmos forever.

In this original astral fantasy, the stars are portrayed with humanoid qualities. They live on nebula landscapes, where they've built castles, towers, and great medieval dwellings.

What does it mean to be the light, the only hope in the universe? And who would seek to extinguish this, to rather dwell in cold and darkness? Each myth tells the tale of how these stars were created, introduces other cosmic beings as allies or threats to the stars, and expounds on an expanding universe.
