The Far Side of the Moon: The Story of Apollo 11’s Third Man #[nn]

"The Far Side of the Moon" offers a poignant, intimate look at the Apollo 11 mission through the eyes of astronaut Mike Collins, the man who orbited the moon while his comrades landed. Written by Alex Irvine and illustrated with striking clarity by Ben Bishop—both handling pencils and inks—this 2019 graphic narrative captures the solitude, wonder, and quiet heroism of a pivotal moment in history. The cover, also by Ben Bishop, frames the story’s emotional core with a powerful, evocative image.
