Praise for MISSING ON THE MOON

“Feels like a lost ’80s treasure you somehow never watched—until now.” —AiPT

“What could come across like a salad bowl of influences from the likes of 2000 AD through to the sci-fi action movies of the 80s and 90s, Missing on the Moon manages to navigate some common tropes to produce an intriguing new read.” —Big Comic Page

“I’m also loving that the art style by Damian Couceiro and Patricio Delpeche’s colors doesn’t try and make things look great and that it more matches the Dystopian Sci-Fi vibes the story has going for it.” —IndieComiX
