Ecpyrosis is a selection of articles and artwork from the early issues of Starfire, a Journal of the new Aeon.
The first issue of Starfire was published in 1986 and the fifth issue appeared in 1994. These years encompassed Volume One, the constituent issues of which have long been out of print and appear but rarely on the second-hand market. This selection of articles and artwork from these first five issues is newly typeset, lightly edited where necessary, and the artwork has wherever possible been freshly scanned to give sharper and clearer reproduction.
