Ijon Tichy is caught in a TIME LOOP. An NPR Best Book of the Year "... J Muth's hilarious and gentle masterpiece." -- Neil Gaiman

Alone in his broken spaceship—with no one there to help him—he could remain trapped in space indefinitely!

But soon something strange begins to happen: Tichy's past and future selves appear. And rather than helping one another, they bicker and fight as they crowd into the tiny vessel. Will Tichy stop fighting with himself long enough to save his own life?

This sharply comical story by world-renowned science-fiction writer Stanislaw Lem has been adapted into a brilliant graphic novel by Caldecott Honor and Eisner Award-winning artist Jon J Muth.
