Starslip Crisis

Starslip Crisis (formerly Starshift Crisis) is a daily independent webcomic written and drawn by Kristofer Straub, also the creator of Checkerboard Nightmare. Starslip Crisis is part of the webcomics cooperation collective Blank Label Comics. In the beginning it ran under the name "Starshift Crisis," but it was changed due to a potential copyright infringement.

Starslip Crisis is set in the year 3441, aboard the starship IDS Fuseli, named after painter Henry Fuseli. The Fuseli is a former luxury warship which has been converted into a starship museum. It is still capable of military activities.

The Fuseli travels from system to system with its exhibits, and the comic details the adventures of the ship's crew. Much of the art featured upon the Fuseli dates from the 20th or 21st centuries.

Starslip Crisis was nominated for five Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards in 2006: Outstanding Newcomer, Outstanding Black and White Art, Outstanding Use of Flash, Outstanding Web Design, and Outstanding Science Fiction Comic (which it won). Kristofer Straub was also nominated in 2006 for Outstanding Writer in the Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards.

The strip was nominated for three Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards in 2007: Outstanding Black and White Art, Outstanding Science Fiction, and Outstanding Web Design.
