The Making of Astronauts in Trouble

Summary: The Number One Review for a Number One Book
Review: The Short: Buy it. It's good.

The Long: Larry Young's comic book, ASTRONAUTS IN TROUBLE: LIVE FROM THE MOON, has been called a Hollywood action blockbuster in comic book form. It exploded onto the comic book scene and helped launch the publishing empire that is AiT/PlaNET Lar. It's since been collected as a TPB (also available on Amazon). It goes well with both red and white wine. It's great.

The script collection, in my humble opinion, is even better.

Not only is it an entertaining read, it is a useful tool for writers of all forms. Larry explains not only HOW he wrote the series, but also WHY (the reasons for the choices he made, including publishing it himself). We are given an inimate look at both the practical and creative processes that Larry went through to get AiT: LFTM in the readers hands. As writers we learn from these experiences, and as readers we are entertained.

So what's in it, I hear you ask?

* An INTRODUCTION by Ed Brubaker (of DEADENDERS fame)!

* The TEASER and the PROPOSAL that started it all!

* 5 ISSUES WORTH of script that is a more entertaining read than anything by Tom Clancy!

* Back-up stories by Brian Wood (CHANNEL ZERO, GENERATION X), Kieron Dwyer (LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR), Steve Weissman (YIKES!), and Scott Johnson!

* The "mini that spawned the whole thing"!

* ONE WHOLE PAGE of acknowledgements!

* TWO, count them, TWO photographs of the author!

All in 128 pages? Where's my wallet? I'm buying this AGAIN! Where's YOUR wallet? You can't beat VALUE like that!

BUY THIS NOW (or the spaceman gets it).
