The Making of Astronauts in Trouble

Larry Young, Matt Smith, Charlie Adlard

Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes in the making of a comic book series? THE MAKING OF ASTRONAUTS IN TROUBLE gives you a glimpse of the comic book production process by collecting the scripts for the critically-acclaimed five-issue miniseries, pre-production sketches, proposal notes, and even the mini-comics that started the whole thing! Beginning with the simple "what if a news crew was on the scene of man's return to the moon?" and through to the selection of Matt (HELLBOY) Smith and Charlie (THE X-FILES, X-MEN: HELLFIRE CLUB) Adlard as series artists, this 128-page collection provides an in-depth look into the year's most compelling science-fiction miniseries.

Like ART OF STAR WARS is to movies, THE MAKING OF ASTRONAUTS IN TROUBLE is to comics what the ART OF STAR WARS is to movies and includes back-up stories with art by Kieron (AVENGERS) Dwyer, Steve (YIKES) Weissman, and Scott Johnson.

Overheard:

"THE MAKING OF ASTRONAUTS IN TROUBLE is required reading for all novice comic book writers. Larry Young knows what the people want. 10 out of 10."
~ Randy Lander, www.thefourthrail.com

"Larry's scripts are fun to read, even if you aren't planning to draw them. They talk to the reader almost as if they were intended to be read on their own from the beginning. These scripts joke around with you, and put little pictures in your head all their own. That's what good scripts do."
~ Ed Brubaker, writer of BATMAN
