Red S Planet

Red's Planet, an intergalactic graphic novel fantasy series from award-winning cartoonist Eddie Pittman (writer/story artist for Disney's hit TV series Phineas and Ferb), is a nonstop adventure with a unique cast of characters unlike any you've ever seen before. Meet Red, a quirky, headstrong 10-year-old who longs to live in her own perfect paradise far away from her annoying foster family. But when a UFO mistakenly kidnaps her, Red finds herself farther away than she could have possibly imagined--across the galaxy and aboard an enormous spaceship owned by the Aquilari, an ancient creature with a taste for rare and unusual treasures. Before Red can be discovered as a stowaway, the great ship crashes on a small deserted planet, leaving her marooned with a menagerie of misfit aliens. With her newfound friend, a small gray alien named Tawee, Red must find a way to survive the hostile castaways, evade the ravenous wildlife, and contend with Goose, the planet's grumpy, felinoid custodian. Surely this can't be the paradise she's been hoping for. Fans of Mike Maihack's Cleopatra in Space and Ben Hatke's Zita the Spacegirl will embrace Red's Planet, a boldly illustrated and imaginative new series for readers of all ages.

Uncover the mysteries, wonders, and history of Mars—as close to an eye-witness perspective of the incredible Red Planet as any reader can get. The history of Mars is drawn not just on its surface, but also down into its broken bedrock and up into its frigid air. Most of all, it stretches back into deep time, where the trackways of the past have been obliterated and there is no discernible trace of where they started from or how they travelled, only where they ended up. From the planet’s formation 4.5 billion years ago, through eras that featured cataclysmic meteor strikes, explosive volcanoes and a vast ocean that spanned the entire upper hemisphere, to the long, frozen ages that saw its atmosphere steadily thinning and leaking away into space, planetary geologist Dr. Simon Morden presents a tantalizing vision of our nearest neighbour, its dramatic history, and astonishing present.

After crash landing on a distant planet, a ten-year-old redheaded orphan finds herself in a new home surrounded by a host of odd and intriguing friends who must band together when Uskog space pirates return, searching for a mysterious stolen treasure.

The most outstanding and uniquely curated selection of Mars orbital images ever assembled in one volume. With explanatory captions in twenty-four languages and a gallery of more than 200 images, this distinctive volume brings a timely and clear look at the work of an active NASA mission.

The epic conclusion to this intergalactic trilogy from Disney cartoonist Eddie Pittman In this rollicking conclusion to the Red’s Planet trilogy, Red discovers evidence that aliens may have abducted her mother and father, and is convinced her parents are still alive. But the only humans who fit their description are on a spaceship headed back to Earth. With help from her friends, Goose and Tawee, Red embarks on an epic adventure to find them, in a journey that takes them across the vast distance of space and the rocky deserts of the American West. But will Red find her family? Or will she end up losing her friends along the way?

Are we alone? In 1995 planet hunters discovered the first alien solar system around a star like our own Sun. Ken Croswell tells the fascinating story of this discovery and the people who made it, then explores the possibility that one day we may have the technology to travel to different solar systems and find life.

"Fun, sharp, hilarious, and rip-roaringly original!""-- Jeff Smith, Bone "The only thing that's missing is seeing Red's Planet on my bookshelf-- sandwiched between Jeff Smith's Bone and my library of Pixar Films."-- Mike Maihack, Cleopatra in Space "Red's Planet is a fantastic and fun journey for young readers, but it's also a great trip down memory lane for their parents. The story weaves together a lot of the fun stories we watched and read in the '80s and '90s and spins them into something new." -- Kazu Kibuishi, creator of Amulet, Flight, and Explorer "Filled with genuine sense of childlike awe and style of story, art, and filmmaking reminiscent of Jeff Smith's Bone. Eddie Pittman really has the goods." -- Dan Povenmire, co-creator of Disney's Phineas and Ferb "A meeting of everything that is great about comic books...incredible art, spellbinding storytelling, rich characters, fun, adventure, humor...and heart." -- Tom Richmond, Mad Magazine artist and President of the National Cartoonist Society
