The adorable little fox named Rex is plucked from his home world by a mysterious spaceship and transported to the arcane world of Edernia, where he meets Aven, an enigmatic biomorph with a flying saucer.

Follow his epic journey as he travels through outer-worldly landscapes, faces strange perils, and makes surprising encounters. A story that is in turn adventurous, heroic, tragic, romantic, and wonderfully surprising, The Saga of Rex perfectly captures a vision of whimsy and wonder that will delight young and old.

Michel Gagné's lush and colorful illustrations, combined with cinematic storytelling, have earned The Saga of Rex a worldwide following. For the first time, the complete and unabridged tale originally serialized over a period of seven years in the award-winning anthology, Flight, is now available in all its glory in a single volume.

To parents thinking about reading this with their young child: there is a brief moment of violence and blood.

Both my child and I loved this. The setting feels like something out of Heavy Metal; an Arzach or a Den. You're seeing creation and destruction on many different scales, from the cosmic to the personal and tying those together into an ouroboros.

Gagne's a masterful illustrator. Rex's face is incredibly expressive. You can read body language in non-anthropic aliens. A planet is sliced open to reveal an inner planet, like a cosmic Matryoshka doll. Gagne's comsos pulses with Kirby crackle.
