Out There (A Graphic Novel)

"Out There" is a heartfelt and imaginative graphic novel that explores themes of family, belief, and the ties that bind us, even across vast differences. The story follows Julia, a young girl who once believed in aliens because her father convinced her they were real—based on his own claims of being abducted.

Now, as Julia grows older, her skepticism grows too. When the 75th anniversary of the famous UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico, approaches, Julia chooses to accompany her father to the festival instead of going on a dream trip to Hawaii with her best friend. Her father sees the event as a potential turning point—a chance for extraterrestrial beings to make contact again.

During the alien-themed festivities, Julia begins to question her father's memories and whether his beliefs are rooted in truth or something more fragile. As the weekend unfolds, their relationship is tested, with Julia grappling with her loyalty to her father and the emotional weight of supporting someone she loves, despite her doubts.

Filled with quirky moments, poignant reflections, and vibrant illustrations, "Out There" is a touching story about trust, connection, and the lengths we go to in order to support the people who matter most to us.
