Here’s a gallery of interior pages from Dandelion, along with the cover from Tula Lotay:
“It’s been a grand undertaking to gather some of the industry’s hottest artists, and build a shared continuity where they could take inspiration from one another in illustrating a wide range of genres that all add up to a larger world of speculative fiction with a mystery unfolding in the background: who is the founder of the Dandelion ship?” Pirzada explains.
And while we don’t know much about what happens in the stories just yet, some of Pirzada’s well-known friends have weighed in with their thoughts on the anthology comic.
“Dandelion is a big, insightful and wildly entertaining graphic novel,” states Oscar Isaac, star of Moon Knight. “A prescient and poignant critique of where we may be headed, and the hope that remains in our most precious resource—humanity.”
