Astronaut Academy: Zero Gravity

Dave Roman's Astronaut Academy: Zero Gravity launched in 2011 from First Second, kicking off a middle-grade graphic novel series with a single, self-contained issue. Roman, the series' primary artist, blends sci-fi adventure with school-day humor as students at a bizarre space academy navigate alien classmates and zero-gravity hijinks. This debut established the warm, fast-paced tone that would define the ongoing series, making it a charming entry point for young readers into Roman's inventive universe.
