This weekend, we’ll be launching Do Aliens Play Basketball? Written by Lizzie Boyle and drawn by Vashti Hallissey, it promises to cover the major mysteries of the universe in just 20 pages. It may also make you cry.

We first met Vashti when she got in touch after a call for submissions on Twitter (See? It does work!).

DAPB page1Yes, here it is: the cover for Do Aliens Play Basketball? – out next week from Disconnected Press.

Written by Lizzie Boyle and drawn by Vashti Hallissey, Do Aliens Play Basketball? tells the story of Mason, struggling with his new job at NASA, and Eddie, a boy who only wants the answer to one question.

We’ll have a blog feature from Vashti in the next couple of days, charting her globetrotting adventures during the creation of this comic (she’s currently here). And we’ll have more information and insights about the book very very soon.

The most important thing to know is that Do Aliens Play Basketball? launches at ThoughtBubble in Leeds in about ten days’ time! You can buy a copy from the Disconnected Press table in New Dock Hall (Table 7) or order from our sophisticated online Shop.

Cover art by Conor Boyle, by the way 🙂
