A few years ago, Scholastic published a book full of ten original short stories from various creators in their Graphix line. It was called GRAPHIX GOES TO SCHOOL and was an exclusive giveaway to only a few schools and libraries. It was never sold in stores.

Since this week marks the ninth anniversary since TARGET PRACTICE hit shelves, I thought it'd be fun to share the Cleopatra in Space story I drew for that Graphix anthology. As far as I'm aware, the book is long since out of publication so I hope you enjoy some fun Cleopatra in Space content you can't read anywhere else.

For context, this story takes place sometime between books 4 and 5 and I think makes a nice little bridge between them. The only criteria was there had to be some sort of school theme going on (plus, y'know, that it was for kids). Pretty easy, since a school is where a bulk of Cleopatra in Space took place anyways.

I thought it'd also be fun to share my initial thumbs for this comic so those are included above as well.

Enjoy!
