Orcs in Space cover

Three Orcs embark on a chaotic adventure in Orcs in Space, navigating bizarre encounters and forging friendships across the galaxy.

In Orcs in Space, we follow the misadventures of three Orcs—Gor, Kravis, and Mongtar—who are desperately trying to survive on their tumultuous home planet. Their lives take an unexpected turn when a group of naive bureaucrats from StarBleep arrives, leading to a comical twist of fate. In a moment of sheer luck, the Orcs find themselves in possession of the most advanced ship in the fleet, propelling them into the uncharted depths of the outer galactigon.

As they navigate this vast and often bizarre cosmos, the trio forms an unlikely friendship with the ship's AI, D.O.N.A. Together, they encounter an array of eccentric characters and situations, from bounty hunters with peculiar habits to lively nightclubs filled with steampunk Space Rats. Each new adventure challenges their wits and camaraderie, forcing them to adapt to their new surroundings while evading the dangers that lurk in the galaxy.

Orcs in Space is a whimsical tale that blends humor and science fiction, showcasing the resilience of its characters as they explore the cosmos. Their journey not only alters their lives but also leaves a lasting impact on the universe they traverse. With a perfect mix of adventure and comedy, this story invites readers to join the Orcs on a rollercoaster ride through space, where anything can happen and friendships are forged in the most unexpected places.

"This fun, lively romp will appeal to fans of TV shows like Invader Zim and (naturally) Rick and Morty." * Booklist *
Orcs In Space is goofy, magical, interstellar fun - finally, a comic that justifies bookstores always putting sci-fi and fantasy into a single section!” -- Jeffrey Brown, author of Darth Vader and Son and Incredible Change-Bots
