Fairytales From Mars is an anthology collecting the fables, folklore and, of course, fairytales from the colonies dotting the red planet. It is speculative mythology at its finest and we’re challenging creators to imagine the kind of stories that might emerge when humanity finally starts calling Mars its home. Early children’s stories were morality tales designed to warn against the dangers of their environment, impart a moral lesson, or explain the unexplainable. These stories are handed down from generation to generation and life on Mars will be no different.

This collects all the work I did working out my comic book cosmos. Explored through very short stories and comic strips, or digi- tal ‘trading cards’, it was a way to develop my ideas through very light, quick projects. Previously pub- lished on sites and socials, this material presents all the main characters, settings and concepts of this shared universe. Hopefully, it’s worth your time just looking through all these years’ worth of illustra- tions! This is for those who spent hours staring at pages in art books or the toy sections in catalogs, and who collected bubblegum cards and action figure bios.

From autobiographical reflections to classic adaptions and tales from the abyss, the short stories in these collections will take hold and never let go.
