About this Collection

Mooncop collects the complete story of a lone police officer patrolling a sparsely populated lunar colony, where the dwindling human presence makes his job mostly about routine and solitude. Tom Gauld's minimalist, deadpan art and spare storytelling create a quietly poignant meditation on obsolescence and the quiet end of a frontier dream. Originally serialized in The Guardian, this Drawn & Quarterly edition brings the full narrative together in a single volume.

"Mooncop" is a quietly poignant sci-fi tale from Tom Gauld, who writes, draws, inks, colors, and letters this strikingly detailed one-shot. Set in a near-future where lunar colonization has lost its luster, it follows the Moon’s lone police officer—adrift in a silent, empty world—until an unexpected connection with a coffee shop clerk sparks a tender, surreal journey across the desolate surface. The story’s gentle melancholy and meticulous art, all by Gauld, make for a memorable, meditative read.

Humans have colonized the Moon but the residents are slowly tiring of the novelty and returning to Earth. The Moon's only police officer finds himself with little to do and no option to return home despite the lack of crime. Eventually, the police officer and a coffee shop clerk are the only humans left on the Moon and decide to take a romantic trip across the lunar surface together.
