Late in 2029, the lunar pioneers and the claim jumpers, the ice rustlers and the jaded locals all have one thing in common - if they want a pint of Guinness and a quick shot of something neat...Cool Ed's is the only honky-tonk for 240,000 miles. Belly up to the bar and hear the story of what really happened the day the HayesCorp Subtropolis blew up... listen to why a Fourth Century Korean king was the go-to guy at a party... how not to rob a bank... and how Col. Macadam first got together his Aerospace Intelligence Taskforce... ...all while a scuttlebot bartender keeps your glass full. ONE SHOT, ONE BEER is like "Cheers" in space and features characters from AiT: LIVE FROM THE MOON and AiT: SPACE 1959 as well as introducing a whole new set of astronauts - even cameo appearances by Queen Elizabeth and Sir Edmund Hillary!

Editorial Reviews
Review
AiT is drunken barroom SF, lurching between widescreen spectacle and intimate storytelling, and is never less than completely compelling comics. -- Warren Ellis
Larry Young clearly knows what a reader wants. ... "Astronauts in Trouble" is hugely recommended. -- SFX

This review is from: Astronauts in Trouble : One Shot, One Beer (Paperback)
It's like one of those films where several stories are joined together by a theme and the manner of their telling. In this case we are in a bar on the Moon. So we get a tall tale of the first "public" landing on the Moon as seen in Astronauts in Trouble: Live from the Moon (by the same author). And a laddish tale of bar-room etiquette. And an ancient Eastern morality tale. Not at all what you'd expect from a sci-fi action adventure ? Well think again. This is an exercise in fine storytelling both by the characters and by the writer and artist. Whether you like graphic storytelling or not this is a fine starting point to find out what the medium of comics can do. That AiT/PlanetLar name on the cover is a fine label of excellence for a graphic novel.
