Moonbound: Apollo 11 and the Dream of Spaceflight

Jonathan Fetter-Vorm’s Moonbound: Apollo 11 and the Dream of Spaceflight (2019–present, Farrar, Straus, and Giroux) is a single-issue graphic history that traces the human yearning to reach the moon, from ancient myths through the Apollo 11 mission. Fetter-Vorm, the sole artist and writer, blends meticulous research with vivid illustration to explore the cultural, scientific, and personal dimensions of space exploration. This book matters as a thoughtful, self-contained work that makes the epic story of lunar ambition feel intimate and immediate.
