Stephen McCranie's Space Boy Volume 22

Before Amy met the boy with no flavor and slowly brought him out of his shell, someone else had tried long and hard to do just that…

Dr. Kim recounts his tragic backstory to Amy. Amy learns about how Dr. Kim began building RFPs, how he came to be working for the FPC, and all about his long and fraught relationship with Oliver. Meanwhile, the discovery of the missing pages from Lesnik’s book, along with Sophi’s continued interference with his net gear glasses, leads Director Langley to begin to suspect there’s a mole in the FPC.

In Volume 22 of Stephen McCranie’s Space Boy we learn that there can be healing, even for the wounds that are self-inflicted.
Stephen McCranie is the writer and illustrator of the all-ages graphic novel series Space Boy and Mal and Chad. Stephen grew up drawing comics from an early age, and eventually earned a Fine Arts degree at the University of New Mexico. His stated goal as an artist is to make "Comics that Nourish."
“One of the best pieces of sequential art to come out in this or any other format in the past decade.”—Entertainment Monthly

"The story excels at mixing these complicated emotions together without getting overly sappy or too stuck in Amy's own mind and this makes it truly one of the most thoughtful examples I've ever seen of a teenaged girl in fiction."—Narrative Investigations
