Bad Space Volume 1 — Scott Base
Space, in Bad Space, is not a frontier. It is a posting. The work arrives deadpan, accumulates pressure quietly, and ends without reassurance.
This first collected volume gathers the core strips from Scott Base's cult webcomic alongside material that did not appear online: previously unpublished pages, exclusive art, and "The Suit" — a sequence that extends the book's register into something closer to horror. The print format gives the work a different weight than the screen version. Strips that moved fast in a browser accumulate differently across 268 pages. The humor remains dry throughout; the damage remains quiet.
Published by The Mansion Press, Bad Space Volume 1 sits within a body of Experimental Comics that treats the genre as a formal problem rather than a commercial category. The book reads fast on first pass. It does not resolve cleanly on second.
About the Edition
The Regular Edition is a 20 × 20 cm softcover with flaps, printed in black and white across 268 pages. The cover carries hot silver stamping — a finish that reads as deliberate rather than decorative. At Lokator100, copies are packed with care and dispatched from Germany; condition is assessed and noted accurately before listing.
About Scott Base
Scott Base writes and draws Bad Space in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. The project is built from short-form sci-fi strips — tight structures in which horror pressure and bleak comedy are held in careful balance.
The work's defining quality is consistency: a clear line, a controlled pace, and endings that refuse comfort. The strips accumulate rather than escalate, and that restraint is where most of the damage lands.
