*Argosy Smith is supposed to die before his 25th birthday - tomorrow - which gives him very little time to steal Leonardo da Vinci's lost manuscript, discover the secret of SplitSpace travel, keep two alien races from all-out war, avoid certain death at the hands of little green mercenaries, and enjoy a slice of birthday cake! Written and illustrated by Eisner Award nominee and Eagle Award winner Steve Conley, this 10th-anniversary edition of Astounding Space Thrills collects for the first time the rare early issues of the popular independent comic book. Also featured is a gallery of amazing art from the series by legendary artists Steranko, the Brothers Hildebrandt, Dave Dorman, Ken Kelly, Dave Gibbons, Frank Cho, Kelly Freas, and others. *Source: amazon.com
