Astounding Space Thrills was a webcomic by Steve Conley begun in 1997. It is also the title of a comic book series of the same name published by Image Comics.
Apparently inspired by early science fiction serials, the strip follows the adventures of Argosy Smith around the year 2030. He is often accompanied on his adventures by Theremin, formerly a human antique dealer whose body is now composed of "bioglop".
In 2008, IDW Publishing published the strip collection Astounding Space Thrills: Argosy Smith and the Codex Reckoning. It was nominated for a Harvey Award for Best Domestic Reprint Project.
Famous quotes containing the words astounding, space and/or thrills:
“The very deaf, as I am, hear the most astounding things all round them, which have not, in fact, been said. This enlivens my replies until, through mishearing, a new level of communication is reached.”
—Henry Green (1905–1974)
“Shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“And the glory of character is in affronting the horrors of depravity to draw thence new nobilities of power: as Art lives and thrills in new use and combining of contrasts, and mining into the dark evermore for blacker pits of night.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
