The Postman from Space: Biker Bandits

Bob strikes back! Join a determined postman on his route across the galaxy in this hilarious graphic novel followup to The Postman from Space.

Even as his delivery assignments get stranger and stranger, Bob is a dedicated and deadpan mail carrier who manages to remain unfazed. . . . Most of the time, anyway.

This hilarious graphic novel follows Bob to several new planets (and a few old favorites) as he does his best to deliver the mail, train a new mail-carrier, and ends up facing down the infamous outer-space Biker Bandits!

The colorful art features extraterrestrials and cinematic views of awe-inspiring alien landscapes, contrasting humorously with Bob's down-to-earth take on things. His adventures are as harrowing as they are hilarious in this follow-up to the award-winning graphic novel, The Postman from Space, a New York Public Library best book of the year and selection for the Little Maverick Reading List.
