Something dark grows at the heart of the First Contact Project, and the investigation into the Homecoming Incident turns deadly in the latest explosive volume of Stephen McCranie’s Space Boy!

Amy’s new life at the FCP takes some getting used to, as she struggles to adjust to her life as a prisoner, though the presence of friends both old and new help her keep her out of trouble. But trouble seems to follow her, and soon Amy becomes drawn into a conspiracy that could lead all the way to the top of the FCP.

Back in Kokomo, Cassie, Zeph, Schafer, and the rest of Amy’s classmates struggle to make sense of the tragedy that seems to have consumed their lives. And deep in space, Oliver’s ship races towards the mysterious Artifact, and his final fate.

A sci-fi drama of a high school aged girl who belongs in a different time, a boy possessed by emptiness as deep as space, an alien artifact, mysterious murder, and a love that crosses light years.

Collects Stephen McCranie’s Space Boy volumes 13–15.
Stephen McCranie is the writer and illustrator for Space Boy and Mal and Chad, all-ages graphic novel series. Stephen grew up drawing comics from an early age. He eventually earned a Fine Arts degree at the University of New Mexico. Stephen originally created Mal and Chad as a comic strip for the UNM school newspaper.
“The story is unlike any I’ve read before. If you like thought-provoking sci-fi that’s a bit off the beaten path, Space Boy is the comic for you.”—Fanbase Press
