Mooncop

Tom Gauld's Mooncop (2016–present, Drawn & Quarterly) is a single-issue, quietly melancholic graphic novella following the last police officer on a sparsely populated lunar colony. Written and illustrated entirely by Gauld, the book uses his signature deadpan, minimalist style to explore themes of solitude, obsolescence, and the gentle absurdity of a job with little left to do. It stands as a poignant, understated meditation on the future of human ambition, told with warmth and a dry, subtle wit.
