This review is from: Astronauts in Trouble : Space 1959 (Paperback)
in the Fifties, when the space race was running. The USA and Communist Russia were making secret plans. This graphic novel tells a tale of the people who became entangled in the race almost by accident of being reporters at the dawn of TV journalism.The three part story ranges from pulp detective thriller to Sci Fi B movie to a combination of illustrated poetry and spy-thriller. Investigating a murder takes our Channel 7 crew and their company-appointed "minder" to a secret US government project, and the inestimable Colonel Lloyd Macadam. He is not about to let those meddling reporters, commie subversives or other hindrances come in the way of the USA claiming the Moon. You do not need to have read "Astronauts in Trouble: Live from the Moon" (for which Space 1959 is a prequel) but because of the exciting use of different styles of comic story-telling, you might want to get to know that one first. They both make a fitting gift for a comics reader, a space fan, an adventure movie buff or anyone who enjoys good stories. |
