Children of Astra is a 348-page sci-fi middle grade graphic novel intended to be a standalone work, but has the potential to be expanded into a trilogy if it becomes successful. It tells the story of 12-year-old Amy Lightbloom, the last survivor of a human colony in the far future, as well as her fight to survive against the Space Pirates who are intent on finishing the job they started several years prior. The comic is intended to be appropriate for all ages.

Right now, this site is meant to pitch the story to a publisher by showcasing the first 112 pages, which comprise all of Act 1. If none of those attempts pan out, however, the rest of the pages will be posted on this site, and the full book will be self published. Stay tuned to the news page for updates!
