Astronauts in Trouble #6

Three spacesuit-clad figures dominate this Charlie Adlard cover, the central astronaut staring down the reader with a raised weapon while two companions flank him against a deep, star-filled void — tense, purposeful, and cool in equal measure. A strip of smaller thumbnail panels along the bottom hints at the scope of this eleven-issue Image series from Larry Young and Matt Smith. Issue six of Astronauts in Trouble — "Live from the Moon, Part 3" — lands squarely at the midpoint of the run, and the cover's quiet confidence makes it easy to see why this series earned its devoted following.
