"At once hilarious and achingly melancholy, [Mooncop. ] reads like a requiem for the future we were promised decades ago that never arrived. A quietly essential read for anyone who grew up reading sci-fi. "-Wired. "Living on the moon. Whatever were we thinking. It seems so silly now. " The lunar colony is slowly winding down, like a small town circumvented by a new super highway.

A young girl runs away, a dog breaks off his leash, an automaton wanders off from the Museum of the Moon.

Like his Guardian. and New Scientist. strips, as well as his previous graphic novel, Goliath. , Mooncop. is told with Tom Gauld's distinctive, matter-of-fact storytelling and dry humor -. an approach that has earned him fans around the world.
