Where the Wind Blows

Join Southwind on an exhilarating journey across a magnificent land and see how we are all a part of something bigger!

When Starboy notices the wind carrying the sweet scent of his mother’s favorite flower, he asks the Southwind where she has been. So many places, Southwind says, and happily begins to recount all the wonderous places she wafted through on her long journey north before drifting into a valley in the land of Starboy’s people. By the time Southwind finishes her tale, Starboy has just enough time to pick some flowers for his mom, give thanks to Mother Earth and the wind, and set off for home with dreams of traveling to all the places the wind has blown.

Violet Duncan’s vivid text and Steph Littlebird’s luminous art beautifully capture the exuberant spirit of the wind and remind us that we are all connected.

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
