T-MINUS RACE TO THE MOON GRAPHIC NOVEL NASA ASTRONAUTS USA USSR KOROLEV SPACE!!!

T-Minus: The Race to the Moon GRAPHIC NOVEL [Paperback] Graphic fictionalized retelling of the moon landing timed for the fortieth anniversary! In T-Minus the exciting story of two world superpowers racing to land a man on the moon is depicted through compelling comics artwork, taking readers through the history of the race and turning the engineers and astronauts involved into vivid and real characters. The story unfolds through the eyes of the figures working behind the scenes to make this miracle happen, showing every triumph and catastrophe along the way, and culminating in the dramatic event itself. Beginning 12 years before the lunar landing, this book chronicles the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union through a catalog of both countries' multiple attempts on the road to manned spaceflight. Organized as a countdown, making the outcome seem inevitable, the frequent, prominent sidebars list a type of rocket, the duration of its flight, and whether the mission was a success or a failure. There are more than 30 attempts chronicled, and the shift between Soviet and U.S. successes creates an interesting balance in the narrative. Ottaviani credits the early Russian successes to chief designer Korolev, and his influence and personal vision fill the first half of the book. The copious detail will appeal to some, and certainly helps to underscore the meticulous research that went into this undertaking. Ottaviani is particular with facts and eager to inspire readers with regard to the scientific process.– Paperback: 128 pages Publisher: Aladdin; Original edition (May 19, 2009) Language: English ISBN-10: 1416949607 ISBN-13: 978-1416949602

ASTRONAUTS IN TROUBLE GRAPHIC NOVEL LIVE FROM THE MOON SCIENCE FICTION SPACE OOP

Astronauts in Trouble : Live from the Moon GRAPHIC NOVEL [Paperback]
Larry Young (Author), Matt Smith (Author), Charlie Adlard (Author)

DRAWN BY THE CO-CREATOR OF WALKING DEAD!

The world's richest man decides to use his wealth to start a colony on the moon. When an eco-terrorist group tries to sabotage the mission, the news crew becomes the story as they're forced to head to the moon in place of the astronauts!

Fifty years after Armstrong's one small step, the world's richest man claims the moon as his own personal property... and Channel Seven is there! This graphic novel shows what happens when absolute power corrupts absolutely, when The Mob has nuclear first-strike capability, and when cows jump over the moon. Witty banter, one-sixth gravity derring-do, and an explosive finale from a tale that Sci-Fi Universe says has "a wide-eyed sense of wonder and a clear appreciation for adventure-based science fiction." This book is like "Die Hard" meets 'Broadcast News" on the moon and was nominated for the American Library Association 2002 Popular Paperbacks.
