"What's on the Rack?" Issue #23: Taking Pride in Comics!

Hello! It's been a little while since we did one of these - apologies, things have been a little hectic lately, but we should be back on track now. Because of last week's Jubilee bank holidays New Comic Book Day will be on THURSDAY this week, but you can click on the cover of the week below to check out the rack online, or just scroll down to check out some of our highlights.




Douglas Spitzer wants to be one of the 'astronauts' selected for the crucial Mission Politzer. And just like astronauts like Buzz Aldrin and Sally Ride, Douglas is brave, adaptable, and self-sacrificing. He's one of the program's best candidates.

Unfortunately, it's a mission where everything will go wrong, where Doug-las's training and very humanity will be put to the test, and where a deep-seeded secret could sabotage everything.
