A ground-breaking steampunk epic, in which the survival of a clockwork solar system lies in the hands of a courageous young girl!
The Orrery is a fully functioning, life-sized clockwork solar system. Several planets attached to huge metal spars, orbit a great brass sun. For many years, these worlds have fought amongst each other and many have degenerated into minor kingdoms. Worse yet, the sun has begun to wind down, and the outer worlds are starting to freeze while the rest will inevitably follow.
Wren, a young girl who lives on the outer world of Hind Leg, is tasked by her scientist grandfather to find the lost pieces of a key that can restart the sun. Setting off from her homeworld of Hind Leg, Wren is given part of the secret of the lost key that has the power to restart the sun again. Charged with travelling across the various worlds to pick up other parts of the key which was broken up after The Great War, she alone possesses the power to save the galaxy from extinction…
From the creative team behind New Deadwardians, Ian Edginton (Stickleback, Ampney Crucis Investigates) and I.N.J. Culbard (The Picture of Dorian Gray, Deadbeats) Brass Sun is a unique fantasy adventure, executed with panache. One of the most critically-acclaimed series in 2000AD’s history, the series made a recent return to the pages of The Galaxy’s Greatest in 2025 as a welcome reminder of the creative team’s mastery of comics.
Now, 2000AD celebrate the series with a new collection which makes Brass Sun available in paperback for the first time.
