Synopsis

"A fun, twisted, nostalgic-galactic road trip filled with a ton of cool characters and a ton of completely over-the-top MAYHEM!" —Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Co-Creator Kevin Eastman

Gor, Kravis, and Mongtar are three Orcs trying to survive while on the run from everything and everyone on their home world. When the naive bureaucrats from StarBleep land on their planet, the orcs unwittingly steal most advanced ship in the fleet and blast into the dankest reaches of the outer galactigon. After befriending the ship's AI, D.O.N.A, the gang encounters everything from pacifier-sucking bounty hunters to raucous nightclubs to steampunk Space Rats. The cosmos will never be the same, thanks to the Orcs in Space!

Volume 1 collects issues #1-4.

About this title

About the Author

Born in Great Falls, Montana, Michael Tanner kept moving west until he hit the ocean. Although a lifelong comics fan, he credits having an interesting hobby for getting him into the world of professional comics: For years he was a referee for the LA Derby Dolls, and his first published comic was in a derby anthology published by Oni Press. He is the co-writer of the YALSA-nominated Junior Braves of the Apocalypse and Orcs in Space.

R.Y. Gheith is a writer who spends an unhealthy amount of time reading comics, playing fantasy online games, and planning his next step toward musical pop stardom.

Born in the sleepy suburban town of Modesto, California, Abed Gheith grew up surrounded by He-Man toys, Jim Henson properties, and Superman comics. He is the co-creator of the cult Internet sensation House of Cosbys for Channel101.com. Nowadays, Abed works as a story consultant on shows for Disney and Cartoon Network, and in his spare time writes comic books. He is the inspiration for the character Abed Nadir on the NBC sitcom Community and occasionally co-hosts on a podcast called Gone Riffin' with Rich Fulcher.

François Vigneault is a freelance illustrator, designer, and cartoonist (not necessarily in that order). In addition to Orcs in Space, his work includes TITAN (Oni Press), 13e Avenue (Éditions de la Pastèque), and his comics and illustrations have been appeared in publications such as Planches, Papercutter, Kayak, and Study Group Magazine. His work has been nominated for numerous awards, including the Joe Shuster Award, Prix des Libraires, and the Prix des Collèges. Born in the United States to immigrant parents, he has lived and worked in Québec since 2015.

DJ Chavis is the colorist for Orcs in Space and a big ol' nerd with an arguably unfathomable amount of ridiculous interests and hobbies. Warning: Catch him in the right mood and he might talk your ear off about said interests.
