🇨🇦 has a wonderful feature on translation across graphic novels, fiction, and poetry from some of our favourite Canadian publishers and THE CONQUEST OF THE COSMOS and Pow Pow's broader English-language publishing efforts are featured prominently!

“Given the current political climate and the fact that we’re once again in open competition to get to the Moon and beyond makes CONQUEST hit even harder than before.”
— , Marketing Manager, Pow Pow Press
