"Tillie Walden is the future of comics, and On a Sunbeam is her best work yet. It's a 'space' story unlike any you've ever read, with a rich, lived-in universe of complex characters." --Brian K. Vaughan, Saga and Paper Girls

Two timelines. Second chances. One love.

A ragtag crew travels to the deepest reaches of space, rebuilding beautiful, broken structures to piece the past together.

Two girls meet in boarding school and fall deeply in love--only to learn the pain of loss.

With interwoven timelines and stunning art, award-winning graphic novelist Tillie Walden creates an inventive world, breathtaking romance, and an epic quest for love.

Industry Reviews

"Magnificent." --The New Yorker

"Walden creates the intoxicating effect of a universe as mysterious as our real one." --The Atlantic

"Phenomenal . . . Utterly mesmerizing . . . A remarkable, stunning comic." --Booklist, starred review

"This masterful blend of science fiction-inflected school drama, road trip, and adventure is nothing less than marvelous." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A stunning interpretation of interstellar life . . . Bound to be a sci-fi favorite, especially for teens who also appreciated Nina LaCour's We Are Okay." --School Library Journal, starred review

"
On A Sunbeam is an intimate, cosmic, and sometimes deeply funny work of art that is hopefully not the last glimpse of Walden's science fantasy world." --VOYA Magazine, starred review

"Both gently romantic and heartbreaking, the story ultimately celebrates love and the importance of chosen family. An affirming love story." --Kirkus

"Watching Mia and Grace rekindle their love against the backdrop of a bleak, mystifying universe is deeply satisfying." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"[A] pageturning and profoundly moving read." --Horn Book

"Tillie Walden is the future of comics, and On a Sunbeam is her best work yet. It's a 'space' story unlike any you've ever read, with a rich, lived-in universe of complex characters." -Brian K. Vaughan, Saga series and Paper Girls

"On a Sunbeam is a rare treat. It's both a slow-burn romance and a found-family space opera adventure with an engaging cast of characters. But it's the world building that really stands out, with a blend of SF and fantasy in a gloriously strange setting that is so brilliantly original I have no idea how to describe it. I enjoyed every bit of it." --Martha Wells, author of The Murderbot Diaries and The Books of the Raksura

"Enthralling, beautiful, and compelling. I couldn't put this down." --Ann Leckie, author of Ancillary Justice

"On A Sunbeam strikes a magical balance between trippy and tangible, heartbreaking and hilarious. It was so easy to curl up in the art and lose myself in the story." --Becky Chambers, author of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
