Astronauts in Trouble: Space 1959

Larry Young, Charlie Adlard

Late 1959, the original Channel Seven newshounds (cameraman Chet Archer, reporter Kit Draper, and network troubleshooter Bob Block), uncover the answer to a question nobody's asking... because those who do end up dead!

The story of Col. Lloyd Macadam's top-secret moon-shot program located in Peru is discovered only after the death of a janitor in the U.S. is investigated by the newly formed Channel Seven television station's top news team. Macadam's plans are accelerated when a Russian spy commandeers the rocket and the Colonel must choose between his country and his life.

A period adventure featuring an earlier generation of the Channel Seven newshounds from ASTRONAUTS IN TROUBLE: LIVE FROM THE MOON, SPACE: 1959 has got film-noir murder, the race to win the Cold War, the first man on the moon, and an elegant and poignant finale from a story that SFX says "surpasses the excellence of the original."

Overheard:

"There really isn't a question of right and wrong...it's more about drive and passions and dreams... If there's a bigger picture here, it's about destiny, and what it takes to bring destiny about. And it's like nothing else being offered in comics today."
~ Kurt Busiek, award-winning writer ASTRO CITY and AVENGERS

"Sci-Fi comics for the New Millenium? Young and Adlard have defined it already with ASTRONAUTS IN TROUBLE: SPACE 1959."
~ Brian Wood, writer GENERATION X

"...a strange, mutant hybrid of Elmore Leonard, Robert Heinlein, and, oddly enough, Ian Fleming. Weird, but cool."
~ Ben Raab, writer LEGEND OF HAWKMAN
