EspañolGALAXION
'Galaxion' is a science fiction comic series written and drawn by Canadian Tara Tallan (née Jenkins)[1].
The story follows the crew of an interstellar ship, the ''Galaxion'', as they test a new experimental hyperdrive engine. The story's narrative is from the point of view of the ''Galaxion's geologist Aria Schafer.[2]
There have been three versions of the Galaxion story.
Around 1993, the story first appeared as one half of a photocopied, digest-sized flip comic book Salmagundi. The other half of Salmagundi was the story ''Vagabond'' by Tallan's cousin, Franz de Leon.[3] This lasted eight issues.
In the late 1990s the story was relaunched in a self-published full-sized comic. There were also two "special issues": a shorter 99 cent special and a "flip book" with Amy Unbounded by Rachel Hartman.[4] The first six issues were collected in a graphic novel, ''Galaxion: The Graphic Novel Volume One''. This second version of Galaxion made it to eleven full issues[5] but ceased publication in 1999 as the demands of parenthood pulled Tara away from the drawing table.
In 2006, Tara launched a third version of Galaxion as a webcomic hosted at Girlamatic.[6]
Note: This describes roles of the characters in the most recent version of Galaxion. The roles have been different in earlier versions. For example, in the print comic we see Scavina in command of the Galaxion from the beginning and Zandarin leading the Survey Contact Team.
