Wandering Star

Teri S. Wood’s Wandering Star (Pen & Ink Comics, 1994–present) is a singular, creator-owned science-fantasy epic that follows the journey of a young woman named Cass as she navigates a richly imagined universe of alien worlds and ancient mysteries. Wood, the sole writer and artist, has crafted a deeply personal, lushly illustrated series that stands as a testament to independent comics’ ability to sustain a long-form, character-driven narrative. Its single-issue debut marked the beginning of a quietly influential saga that prioritizes emotional resonance and world-building over superhero tropes.
