Brass Sun is a science fiction steampunk adventure set in a full-scale orrery. It was created by writer Ian Edginton and artist I. N. J. Culbard and is published in the British comics anthology 2000 AD, where it first appeared in 2012.

The story is about a young girl called Wren who undertakes a quest to restart the dying brass sun at the centre of a gigantic mechanical solar system containing dozens of worlds and moons, all connected via colossal spars.

Brass Sun currently consists of three stories :
