Items related to Space Academy 123
Surviving school is tough; now imagine peer pressure and midterms while hurtling through the vacuum of space. Mickey Zacchilli blends Starfleet with Degrassi to make a classroom saga that recalls manga, Sunday funnies and composition book epics scrawled while ignoring the periodic table.

Review:
“Like most genre fiction, sci-fi is riddled with clichés, ones highlighted by Zacchilli’s aggressively generic title. But rather than delivering her school-in-space tropes in standard futuristic detail, her scribbled artistic and literary style undermines expectations to entertaining, if chaotic, ends.” ― Chris Gavaler, PopMatters
“Space Academy 123 is an abundant story full of likeable characters, simple-but-expressive imagery, and unique storytelling.” ― Trey Brown, Heavy Feather Review
“[I]n terms of sheer hyper-kinetic imagination, heartfelt humor, and good, old-fashioned fun (remember that?), Space Academy 123 is tough to beat.” ― Ryan Carey, Four Color Apocalypse
“Space Academy 123 is funny and easy to read. It is beautiful to look at and read. The characters are alive, and the story is exciting. The theme is deep. It doesn’t pretend to be high art, but it is a marvellous work of art. Without any pretension, it is accomplished in its form and contents. Most of all, it is funny, easy to digest, and enjoyable.” ― Kim Jooha, The Comics Journal

Originally developed as a daily web comic, Space Academy 123 is collected for the first time. As noted by news outlets like CNBC, both print and digital comics sales have bucked trends in other areas of publishing by growing in both sectors. Web comics fans often flock to the print versions of their favourite serials, and the myriad fans of Mickey’s merry band of space weirdos are no exception.
