Sixty thousand years before the first church bell rang over Central Alabama, something fell out of the sky. It did not die. The meteor that carved the great crater outside the river town of StarFell carried a core of pink crystal — a thing that sleeps, converts, and waits.
For generations the town grew up around the wound in the earth: a postcard-pretty main street, a concrete bridge over the Coosa-like river, eggs at Franks' Grocery, sermons on Sunday. October 20, 1962 is "the most perfect of Saturday mornings."
It is also Day One.
The first three issues — Welcome to StarFell, Awaken a Sleeping Giant, and Day One — collected in one volume. One Saturday morning in 1962 Alabama, told from three angles.
Sixty thousand years of patience. One perfect Saturday morning. Watch what falls.
"Let's go shake the world."— Johnny Gale
The collected first arc, Day One, plus Issue #4 — with more on the way.
"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant— Dr. Maitland
and fill him with a terrible resolve."
