Mooncop

by Tom Gauld

Drawn and Quarterly

2016, 96 pages, 6.6 x 8.1 x 0.6 inches (hardcover)

The great Moon colonization project was a failure. The few diehards who remain in their prefab pod-like houses are going back to Earth. That leaves the unnamed lunar police officer with barely anything to do as operations wind down. Author/illustrator Tom Gauld is in top form with his just-released Mooncop, telling a simple story with a deep layer of existential pathos that even we Earth-dwellers can relate to.
