Cleopatra in Space

In Cleopatra in Space, Mike Maihack reimagines the young queen as a time-lost student at a futuristic academy, where she must master alien technology and ancient combat to fulfill a prophecy. Launched in 2010, this all-ages graphic novel series blends humor, action, and character-driven storytelling as its heroine navigates school life, friendships, and the looming threat of a galactic tyrant. Maihack’s vibrant, cartoonish art and his role as both writer and artist give the series a singular, energetic voice that stands out in the landscape of middle-grade sci-fi comics.
