A space adventure comic for younger readers that you read, then flip and finish upside down (in anti-gravity)…
Cosmo and his team are ready to test his new jetpack, but when it explodes, sending Cosmo into space with no hope of communicating with his companions, he's about to embark on the biggest adventure yet! Meeting aliens, destroyers, magicians, sewer mutants, and a friendly, slightly egg-like creature – countless whacky encounters await our brave space hero!
A brilliant introduction to comics for younger readers that you read one way, then flip over and read upside down.
Javi de Castro is a Spanish comic artist and illustrator who started out self-publishing fanzines and webcomics. In 2019 he released the webcomic The Eyes, which brought him a nomination for the Eisner and Harvey 2020 awards.
After several graphic novels published, The Spectacular Space Loop is his first children's comic.
"More than a fun, fast space adventure, [Space Loop is] a triumph of design that will open a world of new possibilities to readers with strong visual art inclinations, and also a lesson in the value and potential of physical books." — Booklist STARRED Review
"Cosmo’s interstellar odyssey is so fun and fully realized that readers will intuitively understand what’s going on, making it a page-turner, twice over" — Kirkus STARRED Review
"Everything changes when you change your perspective,” writes Spanish creator de Castro in this charming graphic novel debut, which offers two interstellar adventures linked by a formatting twist [...] Cosmo’s free-wheeling, low-conflict quest to reunite with his friends culminates in a cheerful jaunt through space and back again..." —Publisher's Weekly
