What are the WILD STARS?

The Wild Stars debuted as a series of comic books created, written, rendered,
sometimes illustrated, and once even printed
by Michael Tierney,
first published in 1984.

What is the concept of the WILD STARS?

Seventy-Five-Thousand Years ago, mankind first migrated into
space and colonized the planets circling the brightest stars in the night sky,
creating the region of space known as the Wild Stars.

Space Gods complete wild stars ad ws5page1

The Wild Stars are where stories of UFOs and legends of Space Gods come from.
The decendants of those deep space explorers have returned many times over the ages.
Now... their war with a genocidal enemy has followed them back to Earth...

The complete comic book novel took 20 years to tell, and in 2004 all three Volumes of the comic book series and the Wild Stars portfolio from 1985 were combined into the trade paperback:

In Spring 2009, the

Wild Stars: The Book of Circles -- Recalibrated

hardcover was released.
The 25th Anniversary edition combined the 2004 graphic novel with new material, previously unpublished Wild Stars comic pages, plus several other new features.

The 30th Anniversary brought a triple-play of new books in 2014:

The new sequel to the graphic novel is a novel with graphics.

Wild Stars II: Force Majeure

An 83,000 novel wrapped around 38 pages of comics pencilled by Armando Gil, along with 50 'flashback' illustrations by Dave Simons.

A child of the Wild Stars has been kidnapped and lost in time.
What would you do if, after searching a Billion Years in a single day,
you discovered that the survival of Earth depends upon abandoning your daughter to sadistic enemies?


The black and white contents of Wild Stars: The Book of Circles -- Recalibrated were released for the first time in a trade paperback, in a uniform edition that matches with the new Wild Stars 2: Force Majeure.

For the first time in a collected edition, the 30th Anniversary Edition hardcover of Wild Stars: The Book of Circles - Recalibrated restores the color from the outer and interior covers of the original comic books.

Five out of 5 Star review on Amazon:
"... the best Science Fiction and Fantasy out there ..."


Wild Stars 7: The Gold Exigency

Wild Stars 7: The Gold Exegency

Review by DMR Books:

"By the master of pulp extravagance, Mr. Michael Tierney.

"...It’s all action at this point, with some outrageously-imagined locales and violent combat.
I think this may be my favourite Michael Tierney story. It’s tightly plotted, with a kind of fight and run rhythm.
I found two of the characters very engaging, one of them being Conrock. Spoiler control prevents me naming the other.

"Tension-wise, important actors are loose in the galaxy, for good or evil, who knows? Episode 1 and it’s already a wild story.
Looking forward to the next episode."


But the story of the Wild Stars actually began long before the first commerical use in 1984
.
