Near to Now

Science fiction is generally best when it’s not only fantastic and otherworldly, but also when it has characters that bring you into the story and give you something to relate to. This series keeps that in mind by giving us not only a 23rd century setting with the mysteries and wonders of interstellar space, but the brave, intelligent, and all-too-human adventurers who explore these wonders: The Sailers. One is brilliant but detached; another headstrong and gruff; another who, as Captain, must hold everything together. Other stories tell tales of space cops, fantastic villains like the ghost of Hitler, and even…mythical rock stars?

This anthology series features creative talents such as Jerry Siegel, Matt Howarth, and more. Published in black-and-white by Fandom House.
