Spectacular Space Loop, The

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."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
