Wandering Star
I need a book, or library, comic-book icon... Or all of the above... :)
At any rate, tuftears had this snippet posted on his journal, and I'm just helping to spread the word: "The Wandering Star by Teri S. Woods. It's a science fiction epic with humans and aliens shortly after a galactic war, and you really have to see it to appreciate how her linework makes the characters come to life."
Teri S. Wood is name that Teresa Challender used when she wrote (and illustrated) Wandering Star. She has a LiveJournal account at the_resa , where she plans to tell more about Wandering Star and her upcoming series, Darklight.
