The cover of the graphic novel Laika, continuously in print for nearly eighteen years. The little cosmodog stares off to the right of the cover into the future standing upon a snowscape (but is it?) while a Soviet R-7 rocket takes off behind her. Two directions, one for her, upwards and onwards for everyone and everything else. “Iconic,” I’m told.

BTW a little birdie told me they’re letting the paperback of this go out of print for “reasons” so if you want an actual copy of an English language edition, get it now! #book #comics #graphicnovel #christmas #laika #laikadog #books
