About the series
Larry Young's Astronauts in Trouble, published by Image from 2015 to 2016, is a darkly comic sci-fi saga that follows a motley crew of spacefarers navigating a universe where the final frontier is less about exploration and more about survival, bureaucracy, and the absurdity of human ambition. Over 11 issues, artists Charlie Adlard, Matt Smith, and Charles Adlard bring to life a gritty, off-kilter vision of space, blending Young's sharp, cynical dialogue with a visual style that grounds the cosmic in the mundane. This series matters as a sharp, character-driven take on the genre, offering a smart, sardonic counterpoint to more heroic space operas.
