520    "Journey through time and space with this graphic novel 
       history of the science fiction genre, from Jules Verne, 
       Jonathan Swift, and Mary Shelley to William Gibson and 
       Philip K. Dick to Ken Liu and Ted Chiang, and beyond. 
       Trace the progress of SF through modern times and learn 
       why key figures and inventors like Thomas Edison and Elon 
       Musk have looked to science fiction to predict the future.
       For the first time in illustrated form, this comprehensive
       history of science fiction traces its origins and, in 
       fascinating detail, charts its history from its beginnings
       as a “schlock” genre to its respected status today. Join 
       author/historian Xavier Dollo and artist Djibril 
       Morissette-Phan (All-New Wolverine, X-Men: Gold, Star-
       Lord) in their visual journey into the expansive universe 
       of science fiction.  Who is considered the world’s first 
       science fiction author? How did American science fiction 
       begin? What sci-fi novel is the alltime best-seller? What 
       were the “Pulps” and how did they predict with uncanny 
       accuracy the 21st century world around us? The answers are
       here, along with detailed chapters dedicated to the 
       founders of the genre and their modern-day successors.

       science fiction movies. Marvel at the behind-the-scenes 
       stories of some of literature’s most imaginative writers.

       imaginations and makes us dream of new worlds. Far more 
       than just a list of facts, The History of Science Fiction 
       is a roaring analytical reflection on the genre that

       11” hardcover sure to stand out on any bookshelf or serve
