ABOUT

“How do you travel in style across the galaxy?”
“What do aliens really look like?”
“What is the Fermi paradox and why should we care about it?”
Discover the answers to these questions and many more at the Supervillain Academy: the magnificently morbid school for young bad folks-in-training. Read more about how the search for extraterrestrial life and the search for planets are linked, the exoplanets and extremophiles that can be found all over the galaxy, and the weird and wonderful ways scientists think we (might) be able to travel around space.

At the Supervillain Academy, readers will learn about the solar system, galaxies, the universe, and, most importantly, the answer to the question “Are we really alone?”. Perfect for fans of Kay’s Marvelous Medicine and the Horrible Histories series, Astrophysics for Supervillains: The Great Alien Hunt is the second book of the Supervillain Academy series that will have curious kids keen to get to school on time!

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
