The Seventh Voyage

In The Seventh Voyage (2019–present, Scholastic), Jon J. Muth adapts Stanislaw Lem’s classic story into a single, lavishly painted comic issue, bringing the Polish author’s philosophical science fiction to a new audience. Muth, serving as both writer and artist, translates Lem’s cosmic absurdity into luminous watercolors, capturing the surreal misadventures of an astronaut trapped in a loop of malfunctioning technology and alien encounters. This one-shot stands as a distinctive, contemplative entry in Scholastic’s graphic novel line, showcasing Muth’s ability to merge literary depth with visual storytelling.
