Travel to deep space and back again with The Mars Challenge, a nonfiction graphic novel for teens about the science and logistics of a manned mission to Mars.

But there are a lot of obstacles in her way: gravity wells, interplanetary trajectories, space weather, and that pesky rocket equation. It's a good thing Nadia's friend Eleanor is a space wiz.

The challenges are great, but not insurmountable. Humans can reach Mars in our lifetime, and this book explains how it can be done.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects Four Color (1942 Series 2) #134 and 161 and Tarzan (1948-1972 Dell/Gold Key) #1-4. Written by Gaylord DuBois. Art by Jesse Marsh. Dark Horse Archives is proud to present the first four issues of this influential Golden Age series in a handsome hardcover -- kicking off a comprehensive program that will collect the first nineteen years of the classic title! In 1947, artist Jesse Marsh left Walt Disney Studios-where he had worked on Pinocchio, Fantasia, and various animated shorts -- to work for Western Publishing full time. Tarzan was one of his first assignments, with the iconic character's first original comic-book appearance in Dell Four-Color Comics #134. Tarzan #2 would begin Marsh's long-term collaboration with writer Gaylord DuBois. Their terrific work drew admiration and respect from readers and peers -- Russ Manning among them -- and Marsh's art inspired future comics creators from Richard Corben to Los Bros. Hernandez!
