I own this physically. I only have a handful of graphic novels, so it's a bit of an outlier in my bookcase, but I've always been pretty fond of this one. I was given it as a present many years ago.

I was always a fan of that "1950s vision of the future" style in art and architecture - and this very nicely pays homage to it, (and especially Dan Dare), whilst also gently mocking some of the more hypocritical elements of that kind of retrofuturism/nostalgia.
