A graphic novel about a mid-career astronomer struggling with mental health and the treatment of women in her field.Renowned astronomer Maggie Hill is giving a lecture about her career, to inspire young women to work in science. She's also attending her first ever therapy session in order to overcome some debilitating anxiety. These events force Maggie to examine her greatest achievements and biggest regrets as she tackles space science, mental health, and communication -- both interpersonal and intergalactic. A new comic about legacy, loss, human curiosity and the economics of failure -- adapted by illustrator Lizzy Stewart and writer Molly Naylor from Naylor's play of the same name.

"This is a wonderful, a profound, a real work that explores so many things. I read it in one sitting, adored it for what it was, absolutely loved Lizzy Stewart's artwork, was drawn in by Molly Naylor's words. It is vital, it is beautiful, it is powerful. It's a wonderful read." - comicon.com
