A Distant Soil #1

This volume collects the earliest chapters of Colleen Doran's epic science fantasy series, originally serialized in the 1980s. It introduces a sprawling cosmic conflict involving a young telepath, an alien aristocracy, and a hidden world of immense power, setting the stage for the saga's exploration of identity, oppression, and transcendence. The Gathering is the first collected edition of this landmark independent comic, presented here in its Image Comics reissue from 1997.
