Shane Plays Interview -- October 4th, 2019

Shane Plays host Shane Stacks stopped by Collector's Edition the day before the
worldwide release of the 35th Anniversary editions of Wild Stars Books One through Four.

---

Here's the rundown of what each of Cirsova's five books in the Wild Stars 35th Anniversary set includes:

Wild Stars 1: Book of Circles -- Cirsova Publications edition

Wild Stars 1: Book of Circles is a 296-page collection of the 1984 Wild Stars: Erlik comic, material from the 1986 Wild Stars Portfolio, the 1988 Wild Stars: First Marker comic, the 7-issue 2001-2002 comic series, plus all of the new art and bonus materials from Little Rocket Publication's 2004 and 2014 paperbacks, and the 2009 and 2014 hardcovers.



This epic story is presented in the enlarged magazine format for the first time!
The Cirsova Publications editon also features a new introduction by publisher "Alex" Alexander.

When Volume One was first released in digital format on Kindle, it spent a week at #1, sometimes in multiple Kindle categories.

Wild Stars 2: Force Majeure -- Cirsova Publications edition

Wild Stars 2: Force Majeure wraps an 83,000 word novel around 38 comic book pages that includes the
Little Rock Publications release of the Force Majeure: Prairie Bay comic in 2002.

In addition to the 38 pages of comics are 50 flashback illustrations
presented here for the first time in an enlarged magazine format!

Plus, we're doing some unique things with the packaging.
While virgin front covers are common in the comics industry,
they are fairly unheard of in the magazine and book industries.

We did it last year with the virgin wraparound dust wrapper for the
first edition hardcover of Wild Stars 3, and Cirsova is doing it again
for the entire Wild Stars 35th Anniversary set!

Another thing I've never heard being done before is how
the back covers of all four books can be joined together
to create a larger image.
Stuff like that is usually only done with front covers.

This is what happens when an aggressive publisher teams up
with a creator who's been active in the independent publishing industry since 1977.
That's when I released The Multiversal Scribe, a magazine for which I did all the art
and wrote stories in five different genres. Click the image to the right
or this link for more details about this and the 1980s Wild Stars comics.

Wild Stars 3: Time Warmeggedon -- 4th Cirsova edition

The 35th Anniversary cover is shown above!

In 2018 Cirsova Presents first published Wild Stars 3: Time Warmeggedon in
thee different editions (shown below), and all of them instantly sold out.

Shown below is the main cover with art by Tim Lim,
a wraparound variant by Mark Wheatley,
and a second variant wraparound by Mark Wheatley done in a virgin format for the hardcover edition.


Bonus material contained in the new, 4th edition,
are reprints of Shark Fighter and
The Grass Maiden (originally published as The Bears of 1812),
each of which was previously released in Cirsova Magazine.

PLUS, this 4th Edition also contains the first publication of a new epilogue,
and a new Wild Stars short story,
The Grimgrip.

For the Kickstarter launch of the 35th Anniversary Set,
Cirsova Publishing will also be bonusing two limited edition art prints from Mark Wheatley's interior artwork.

The Red Grief was originally presented in color on the back cover of the main 2018 edition,
while The Battle of the Time Travelers is published in color for the first time!

Wild Stars 4: Wild Star Rising -- First Edition

The basic concept behind the Wild Stars is that 75,000 years ago, mankind made their first migration into the stars.
What hasn't been told before is why they took that exodus.
The cover of the Cirsova first edition reveals one reason.

Wild Stars 4: Wild Star Rising finally explains everything, taking readers back to the last days of the exodus and into the final battle
with an enemy intent on wiping all traces of man from the face of the Earth.
(Note: Wild Stars 4: Wild Star Rising should not be confused with my 1977 novel Wild Stars Rising,
which takes place later in the future history of the Wild Stars)

From there the story moves to the really ancient past,
where immortals battle on the edge of a black hole in the conclusion of the quest for Phaedra,
and their battle continues on into the no-so-distant future for a final confrontation.

But, wait! That's still not all!

Wild Stars 4 also features the bonus Multiversal Guide Wild Stars Glossary:
a 29,000 word navigational map to clue you in on every person, place, or thing
throughout the wild history of the Wild Stars.

With the campaign ending at midnight CST, and Kickstarter operating at EST,
these charts always show the last hour as a whole day.
Note: When comparing the WS4 Kicktraq to the WS3 Kicktraq chart,
keep in mind that WS4 also had a successful IndieGoGo campaign, which WS3 did not.
Wild Stars 4: Wild Star Rising far exceeded Wild Stars 3: Time Warmageddon in combined pre-order sales.

Wild Stars Omnibus -- First Edition hardcover

This 720-page tome contains everything from all four Books of the Wild Stars
and features a wraparound cover (shown here without text) by Anton Oxenuk, who also
illustrated the cover for my posthumus collaboration with Edgar Rice Burroughs on Young Tarzan ,
which was also published by Cirsova.

Be warned! Because of this book's prodigous size and weight, it could be consided a leathal weapon.
