Synopsis

Regardless of time and place, space has always been a primary subject of mankind's awe and fascination. Steadfast in discovering the truth behind their own existence, humans have continued to venture out far into the unknown, ready to confront any hurdle that comes along the way. Although the path ahead is one full of uncertainties, as long as humanity remains persistent in their endeavors, they may ultimately learn to understand each other and come closer to unraveling the intriguing mysteries of the universe.

2001 Nights is a nice anthology of deep-space exploration stories delivered in a western style of comic art. The quality reminds you of the silver age of comics, but there is great detail in both expression and scenary.
