Luna Express - by Campbell Whyte (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Between crummy day jobs and nights out on the town, Celeste and her friends can barely find time to use their super-powers! Sailor Moon meets late capitalism in this deliriously epic graphic novel, bursting with life and vibrant color.

Celeste was always told that she could grow up to do anything she dreamed of, but she didn't exactly dream of being a delivery biker for her parents' bakery, Luna Express. Life is so much more exciting at night: When the stars come out, so do her magical powers of super-strength and speed! Those gifts haven't made her destiny any clearer, though...until Celeste and her friends are targeted by a series of strange, supernatural attacks throughout their hometown of Perth. Now this reluctant team must battle land-sharks, roller-skating disco mushrooms, mind-bending art exhibitions, and their own personal drama, while trying to unravel the unsettling mystery that connects them and their city.
