Upon meeting Cavor, a physicist, Bedford, the narrator, becomes deeply intrigued by Cavor's work on a substance that will make spaceflight a reality. The two men design and build a spherical "spaceship" and upon its completion, shoot off into space to be the first men to visit the moon. There they find a desolate wasteland - at least until the Lunar day begins... Classics Illustrated tells this wonderful tale in colourful comic strip form, offering an excellent introduction for younger readers. This edition also includes theme discussions and study questions, which can be used both in the classroom and at home to further engage the reader in the story.
