Set in a post-apocalyptic near future, SPACEMAN tells the story of Orson - a hulking, lonely loser who spends his days collecting scrap metal and dreaming of the startrekking life he was promised.

"Written by BRIAN AZZARELLO Art by EDUARDO RISSO Cover by DAVE JOHNSON From the Eisner award-winning team behind 100 BULLETS comes the sci-fi story of Orson, a man genetically engineered to withstand the harsh journey to Mars and finds himself trapped in a seriously harsher reality. On the outskirts of the flooded city, Orson's on the trail of some bloodthirsty pirates. Seems they're both after the same precious treasure. The only difference is that Orson wants the treasure alive..."

"The space-spanning adventure from the creative team behind 100 BULLETS rolls on as our hero, Orson, drowns in a sea of star pirates, dirty drugs and his own intergalactic failures. Can he keep his head above water long enough to do the right thing?"

"On the run and running out of time, Orson's life can't get any worse - until a bounty hunter gets on his tail. Trouble is, this ain't no ordinary detective. He's a spaceman, too. Don't miss the series that H.G. Wells calls 'the comic I wish I was alive to read!'"

"The epic new series from the team who brought you 100 BULLETS continues! Orson is in way over his head, trying to do right in a world gone wrong. Now, a mysterious man from his past is about to make things much, much worse."

"Orson is on the run from the cops with the kidnapped Tara. And things just got worse with a bounty hunter on his tail who has a connection to Orson's life on Mars."

"Orson is hunted down by the cops, the bounty hunter, and the gang bent on kidnapping Tara. And as he gets squeezed, something precious slips through his fingers..."

"This Philip K. Dick-ian nightmare hurtles toward its tasty conclusion as Orson stops running and turns to look into the abyss that's been chasing him all along."

"'It's over, Orson... Over!' Vertigo's noir-fi series comes to an end as Orson's life crumbles around him - but everything's not as bad as it seems. No, gentle reader... it's much, much worse. Earth sucks. Mars, though..."
