Free Comic Book Day: Cleopatra in Space

In this one-shot comic from Scholastic, part of the Free Comic Book Day initiative, readers get a taste of the time-traveling adventures of Cleopatra, a young girl who is transported to a futuristic world. The series, which began in 2015, introduces the premise of a clever and resourceful Cleo navigating a galaxy-spanning academy while uncovering her destiny. Though brief, this issue serves as a gateway to the larger Cleopatra in Space graphic novel series, which blends humor, sci-fi, and coming-of-age themes for middle-grade readers.
