Crossing the Empty Quarter and Other Stories

A single-issue anthology from Dark Horse, Crossing the Empty Quarter and Other Stories collects three short tales of adventure and survival, each set in a different historical or imagined landscape. The book is most closely associated with writer and artist Jason Shawn Alexander, whose moody, expressive artwork unifies the collection's themes of isolation and human endurance. It matters as a showcase for Alexander's distinctive visual storytelling, offering a compact but resonant example of his early work for the publisher.
