Once upon a Space-Time

In this whimsical 2020 graphic novel from Crown Publishers, Jeffrey Brown blends gentle humor with cosmic curiosity as he explores the everyday absurdities of life on a space station. Through the eyes of a hapless astronaut, the single-issue series playfully tackles the mundane challenges of zero-gravity living—from spilled coffee to tangled oxygen hoses—while touching on the universal human need for connection. Brown’s warm, cartoony art and deadpan wit make this a charming, low-stakes slice-of-life tale for readers who enjoy sci-fi with a soft, comedic heart.
