Space: the final frontier. Beautiful. Intriguing. Mysterious. But if you go there, YOU WILL DIE! The human body is perfectly adapted to the conditions on Earth. But blast that fragile body into the extreme and varying environments of space and it wont fare so well – and that’s only if you survive the take-off! From scorching million degree temperatures, to pressures that would instantly squish you to the size of a ping pong ball, OHely and OSullivan present – in excruciating and scientifically accurate detail! – the physics and physiology of existing (and ceasing to exist) in deep space. Be sure to grab a copy of this graphic novel.
