Astronauts in Trouble
AiT/Planet Lar. Written by Larry Young; drawn by Charlie Adlard.
Live
From the Moon (5-issue mini; a Charlie Adlard, Matt Smith).
[From AiT/Planet Lar: 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."] 
Space:
1959 (OGN). [From AiT/Planet Lar: 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."]
One
Shot, One Beer (OGN). [From AiT/Planet Lar: Late
in 2029, the lunar pioneers and the claim jumpers, the ice rustlers and
the jaded locals all have one thing in common -- if they want a pint of
Guinness and a quick shot of something neat...Cool Ed's is the only honky-tonk
for 240,000 miles. Belly up to the bar and hear the story of what really
happened the day the HayesCorp Subtropolis blew up... listen to why a Fourth
Century Korean king was the go-to guy at a party... how not to rob a bank...
and how Col. Macadam first got together his Aerospace Intelligence Taskforce...all
while a scuttlebot bartender keeps your glass full.] 
Master
Flight Plan (Collection of all three books). [From
AiT/Planet Lar: The critically acclaimed series is now collected in
an affordable hardcover! All three stories are included: Live From The Moon,
Space: 1959, and One Shot, One Beer, as well as short stories by Brian Wood,
Kieron Dwyer, and Darick Robertson. Softcover also available.] ArtBomb
review
The
Making of Astronauts in Trouble [By Larry Young). [From
AiT/Planet Lar: 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.]
