(3) 4-6 Robin Plotnik begins a stint as a junior spacecraft mechanic on a giant space station, where fighter squads compete in battle simulations to prepare for a possible war with hostile aliens. Robin's quasi-coming-of-age story focuses on his relationship with his sentient gorilla boss and on a failed romance. Though episodic, this surreal black-and-white sci-fi graphic novel is full of humor, angst, and memorable characters.
