On a Sunbeam: Tillie Walden

I'm not generally a reader of graphic novels, but was pulled in by the universe design of 'On a Sunbeam' - starships like vivid koi swimming between worlds, floating temples being restored and repaired, a colour scheme well-chosen to create the feeling of the spaces (which shifted and changed as the locations did). I wanted to travel in those ships, be a part of the strange and wonderful worlds being shown to me.The story moves in streams; the past and present unfolding to keep the reader immersed and gradually lead forwards. This makes it easy to pause between reading segments if you are pressed for reading time. The characters build and shift relationships organically over the course of the story; this is really the heart of the adventure, and made for some touching moments. The representation of LGBTA+ people is great to see also.Whilst you can read it all for free on Tillie Walden's website, the visuals are worthy of having a hard copy of

The book came great. The hardcover is strong. There were no dents nor damage. It is quite heavy though. The art is also beautiful and a good read.

Beautifully illustrated with a story to match! Invest in art & Indy artists. A story of finding lost things and re connecting with those who matter.

Phenomenally well designed and written book, stunningly visual, but just couldn't fully amaze me to the maximum when it came to its story. A great suggestion to anyone who hasn't experienced the more intense graphic novels and wants to experience the medium.

Take your time to read Tillie Walden's beautiful On A Sunbeam: you won't be disappointed. It's bittersweet, sometimes sad, but full of hope, hope, hope and heartachingly honest.I'm so, so glad I bought it.

Love this book, has great representation of LGBTQIA+ people and talks about why pronouns are important.

I can’t recommend this enough! Skilfully conceived characters, it looks beautiful and it’s even won over a sci-fi sceptic like me...
