Astronauts in Trouble : One Shot, One Beer

Rating:
Summary: Space: Where everybody knows your name ...
Review: 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.
