Space Circus

    (Dark Horse, 2000)
™ and ©2000 Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier

The Space Circus, an enormous big top in a bubble, traverses the byways of the known universe, providing entertainment to sentient lifeforms everywhere. Attacked by those no-goodniks, the Space Pirates of Salgari-7, the Circus touches down for repairs on a backwater planet called Earth. There, they acquire a stowaway, young Todd Cooper. Wackiness ensues as Todd meets killer Klowns, sentient gorillas and the two-headed Doodah Brothers, and decides to throw in with the Circus as they fight the pirates and preserve mirth and merriment throughout the galaxy.

A delightful sci-fi take on the old fantasy of running away to join the circus, the real star in this 3-ring comic is cartoonist Sergio Aragonés (Mad, Groo), whose irrepressible style gives hilarious life to an endearing collection of interstellar freaks and geeks. He’s aided and abetted by the writing of perennial cohort Mark Evanier (DNAgents).
