Starseeds – Charles Glaubitz
Starseeds by Charles Glaubitz / ISBN 9781606999899 / 240-page full-color hardcover (7.8 × 10.3 inches) from Fantagraphics
***
This is a debut New Age sci-fi graphic novel from a multimedia artist.
Charles Glaubitz delivers his first graphic novel, a work of mythical, pictorial, illustrative, and cosmological components, while combining elements of myth, religion, and spirituality with comics, hermetic ideas, alchemy and science. Light travels through space and brings a prophecy of the awakening of the Crystal Sigil. At the same time, the secret society of Illuminati steals from the four elements to create a new fifth element that has the power to become any object of desire. The ensuing epic battle pits the warrior-like Starseed Children — who are the end result of the evolution of revolution within our system of genetics, philosophy, science, and art — against the Illuminati and their masters, the Annunaki, and the coming of the black darkness.
“This clever mash-up of science, fantasy, conspiracy, and religion has all four elements colliding off of each other even as they meld together into something that is beyond comprehension.” — Publishers Weekly
“The defining characteristic of Starseeds is its ability to mix genre with the metaphysical, and in doing so, it generates an otherworldliness that is strange and compelling.” — Sequential State
