Solaris sapphic love in space

written and illustrated by Annie Stein, with the help of Sol's best girlfriend skairunner
Winner of Most Beautiful New World 2022, a wondrous reimagining of our Solar System. Solaris is retro science fiction with a queer and artistic twist. Written and illustrated by Annie Stein, with the help of Sol's best girlfriend Skairunner.
When you’re already defying one all-powerful force, why not another? Eun has no doubt that if she was Icarus, she would also end up plunging into the sea.

Welcome to Solaris

This site is a compendium of the worldbuilding written for my upcoming webcomic. Solaris is a love letter to the wonder I felt looking up at the stars as a kid, and it reimagines our solar system as vivid and mysterious place with aliens galore.   It is not a world without danger. The stars are hostile, and the sun itself has laid siege on Mercury. Angelic armies have scorched the planet, and people fear what will happen should the defence at Penumbra fail.

An illustration of Blue NM-2; a blue humanoid alien floating in space. It has ribbon-like appendages that swirl around it. There's three of it, but they're all the same. They form a triangle or circle with their bodies.

Comment of the Month
Mmm yes. Spooky ocean creatures. Eyeless horrors that hunt in a world of pure darkness. We love to see it. Also amazingly cool political stuff, as always. I'm always amazed by how you encompass all the conflicts across nations and planets.
