Description

An advanced alien race attempts to escape oblivion with the help of a world-sized spaceship, an omniscient supercomputer, and a mysterious group of godlike creatures in this eye-popping illustrated sci-fi adventure.In the far reaches of the Andromeda Galaxy, a supernova obliterates the homeworld of the Zors, an advanced alien race. But the Zors knew this particular apocalypse was coming. To escape destruction, they built a world-sized spaceship run by an omniscient supercomputer. They search for a new home, but the odds are bleak. Aboard the ship, major unrest amongst the crew and passengers endangers the mission of survival.Outside in the cold of space, the enemies of the Zors gather to destroy them. Watching over the Zors are the Beings of Light, mysterious godlike creatures able to intervene in the affairs of others. But will they be able to save the Zors? Written and drawn by Belgian cartoonist Jean Pleyers in the early 1980s, The Children of Light is his awe-inspiring vision of a universe completely different from our own. Intricately drawn and laser-blasted with radiant color, this is the first time The Children of Light has been collected and translated into English. This new edition features an interview with Pleyers conducted by Tom Oldham of Breakdown Press, which sheds light on the creation of this wholly original work.
