Alexandro Jodorowsky (The Incal, The Metabarons) steps up to the challenge of the short graphic story format by collaborating with an international panoply of artists. Each of the 11 sci-fi and fantasy short stories has been especially tailored to the individual illustrator's strengths. Every tale is linked by an asteroid spawned from the destruction of a planet that produces a 'howling shriek' which instigates change or imbalance amongst all who witness it.
