What's next for Space Boy
- Omnibus editions: Dark Horse's browse page lists five omnibus books, each gathering three volumes.
- Volume 24: A bookseller lists it for November 2026, but Dark Horse's own page for it was not found, and the author said in April 2026 that Dark Horse and the series had parted ways. We have no confirmed day.
Do you have to read Space Boy in order?
Read them in number order. It is one long story told across the volumes, and each one starts where the last stopped, with the same characters and a growing mystery. Starting in the middle would be confusing. Dark Horse's omnibus books collect three volumes each, if a reader wants fewer, thicker books.
What age is Space Boy for?
Ten and up is the publisher's age for the first volume, not a reading level. The pictures are plain and clear, but the story is long and slow in places, and it is about teenagers, so it suits a patient reader at the older end more than a young one. We don't print reading-level scores: they belong to the companies that make them.
What's it like inside Space Boy?
- Words: Some words on a page.

- Colour: Full colour.
- Which way: Left to right, like most books.
- Length: Book 1 has 248 pages.
- Feels: Sad bits. Being far from home and lonely.
About book 1. The page count is from darkhorse.com, the colour from the publisher's page; the rest is Peabody's own note, never a score.

Peabody's lists for Space Boy readers
Top 14 graphic novels for ages 10 to 14
The best middle-grade graphic novels deal with friendship, family, identity and history.
Top 12 science fiction books for ages 9 to 12
Kid science fiction asks what if: what if the sun went out, if a robot learned to live, if a school bus fell into another world? These books are short enough for a third or fourth grader and sensible enough for an adult to read along.
17 graphic novels for middle schoolers
Graphic novels are real reading and often the strongest hook for reluctant readers.
