The Red Star
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the video game based on the comic book, see The Red Star (video game).
The Red Star is a comic book series created by American artist Christian Gossett and a large team, and first published by Image Comics in 2001. It was one of the first computer-generated comics, making heavy use of line-art from 3D models to present large cinematic scenes suited to its expansive sci-fi/fantasy world. This world is described by Gossett as a "Mythic [Soviet] Russia", the "Lands of The Red Star" being inspired by both Russian folklore and military history. The series is thus heavily reminiscent of a post-World War II Soviet Union, mixing technology and sorcery, in a blend known within the lore as "Military Industrial Sorcery".
