HOLIDAY IN THE STARS
Go back Taft Sturgeon: Holiday in the Stars from my b.f.f.f.f. and collaborator, David Crispino, currently on Kickstarter. This is Dave’s best work. It's a big fun adventure, but overflowing with heart, as I’ve watched the heart get poured into it for the last several months. Tony Gregori’s artwork (not pictured here) has also reached epic levels of that tight-looseness I love. He’s becoming one of my favorite artists.
I can tell these dudes also definitely read it:
“Holiday in the Stars is a really special bit of comics; Gregori's bouncy cartooning and inventive panel layouts and world-designing breathe life into Crispino's earnest, festive scripting. One of my favorite creative teams in comics."

“Remember when you first heard about the Star Wars Holiday Special?
But remember the nanosecond before the person telling you about it also explained that it was horrible?
In that briefest of times before the truth was known you thought, “Outer space adventure holiday special? Sounds awesome! Give it to me now!”
Well, the new Taft Sturgeon Holiday in the Stars comic fulfills the promise of George Lucas’ collisional misstep (only one he’s ever made!)
You got aliens, you got evil AI bots, you got Taft (picture John Candy in the Han Solo or Lone Starr role in Space Balls instead of as Barf) going on a Christmas journey to the North Pole via the cosmos.
You got no Donny and Marie.
None.
You got my money.”
