The shape of it
The shape of this universe.
Star Cat is James Turner and Yasmin Sheikh's absurd science-fiction comic franchise about Captain Spacecat and the crew of a spaceship shaped by cats, turnips, unicorns and total nonsense. The series is loud, silly and very accessible, with a strong comic-strip sensibility and a love of deliberately ridiculous space adventure. It is ideal for children who like graphic novels where the plot is less important than the next joke, the next strange alien idea or the next impossible escalation.
A daft sci-fi comic series about a cat in space, time-turnips, unicorns and absurd intergalactic adventure.
