I know it's not new but I do love Ministry Of Space. It's like an incredibly cynical, bitter version of Dan Dare. Warren Ellis sat down and imagined how the world would be if Britain had seized Wehrner Von Braun et al and had led the march into space. Marvelous stuff.
The illustration is brilliant. Ole Werner was so funny, using rocket fuel for the V3 cannon factory outside Calais...I like the true stories - like 'The Right Stuff' by Tom Wolfe.
