SYNOPSIS
Duncan, Roxy, Cynthia and Rasheed just want to have a little intergalactic fun. But what starts out as a harmless day of extreme planet jumping turns into a mind-blowing, white-knuckle race for their lives to get back home. Only problem is, home is no longer where they left it. And the alien race, hell-bent on destroying them, isn’t getting any friendlier.
"30 Days of Night’s" author, Steve Niles, collaborates with illustrators Dr. Revolt, Gary Panter, Kime Buzzelli, and Morning Breath to bring you a graphic novel that will challenge what you think about time and space travel.

Quotes

"The Lost Ones” is the first Zune Arts project that began with a writer, Steve Niles, at the center. And by teaming him up with four radically different artists to bring the graphic novel to life visually, it’s become a fun experiment in artistic collaboration. How could alien space cowboys not be fun?"
- Glenn Cole, Co-Founder/Creative Director, 72andSunny

"The Lost Ones" gives us the chance to extend the Zune Arts platform by tapping into new genres and audiences. We're excited to work with such a talented group of artists and storytellers to bring this project to life."
- Robert Schaltenbrand, Zune Arts Brand Manager
