The Red Star

Set in an alternate world where magic and technology fuel a Soviet-style military state, The Red Star is a visually arresting three-issue series from Archangel Studios (2003–2004). Writer/artist Christian Gossett, joined by writer Brad Kayl and artist Paul Schrier, crafts a sweeping, cinematic tale of sorcery, warfare, and rebellion. Its dense, painted art and intricate world-building earned it a cult following for its ambitious, novel-like approach to the comic medium.
