Ana and the Cosmic Race #1

From Charmz/NBM comes this lively 2017 graphic novel from Amy Chu and Kata Kane, following pink-haired Ana and her teammates — a sharp-eyed dark-haired companion and a confident kid with locs and a raised fist — as they suit up for an interstellar adventure. The cover sets the scene beautifully: planets, orbiting spheres, a sleek retro spacecraft streaking across a pastel cosmos, and a small wide-eyed alien creature scrambling along at the team's feet. It's a fun, manga-influenced all-ages romp that promises friendship, teamwork, and the thrill of racing across the stars.
