Two Castaways. One Goal. Zero in common. Get lost in this inventive sci-fi graphic novel about an extraordinary friendship and an incredible journey home.
Like many late-21st-century teens, geeky 16-year-old Vess gets packed off to spend her summer at Space Camp--which is literally in space. Tragically, a shuttle accident sends her and the rest of the passengers careening toward a cold, frosty death among the stars. But when a gigantic, space-faring water bear miraculously rescues Vess and her beloved retro Discman, it's the beginning of an extraordinary friendship, all set to the nostalgic tunes of Vess's 1990s-heavy playlist.

“Dawson and Gaston have created a seamless piece of storytelling and I can’t wait for more.” —The British Fantasy Society
“In parts surreal, in other parts a little scary, Star Pig feels firmly aimed at both the young and young at heart… it’s still a blast from beginning to end” —Starburst Magazine
