Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The Space Race of 1869!"
Story and art by Alex Alice.
What if man journeyed into space in 1869, not 1969? In search of the mysterious element known as aether, Claire Dulac flew her hot-air balloon toward the edge of our stratosphere - and never returned. One year after her disappearance, her son and husband are delivered a tantalizing clue: a letter from an unknown sender who claims to have Claire's lost logbook. The letter summons them to a Bavarian castle, where an ambitious young king dreams of flying the skies in a ship powered by aether. But within the castle walls, danger lurks, for -there are those who would stop at nothing to conquer the stars!

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "The Moon King!"
Story and art by Alex Alice.
The second volume in a lavishly illustrated adventure series set in a world where space exploration began during the Victorian era. Seraphin and his crew, which includes the King of Bavaria, have barely escaped the treacherous chamberlain with their lives. They are now stowaways on the magnificent aethership, but their respite is short-lived. To save the king's throne and prove his sanity, they must push the aethership even farther-out of the sky - and into the stars! Alex Alice (Siegfried) delivers a fantastical adventure set in a world where man journeyed into space in 1869, not 1969, and he marries this compelling high-concept premise with intricate, breathtaking art.
Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 64 pages, full color.
