"I’ve been a fan of Astounding Space Thrills and an admirer of Steve Conley for years now," says 01 Comics Editor Barry Gregory. "There’s a quote on the AST site from Warren Ellis wherein he praises Steve and AST for rewriting all the rules for comics on the web. Truer words were never spoken. Five years after its launch AST – in SO many ways -- remains a ground-breaking web comic. And Steve Conley is a true webcomics pioneer. We at 01 couldn’t be more delighted to offer The Entropian Engine to AST fans the world over."
