Lunatics

In 1913, five explorers embark on the first lunar mission, venturing to the Moon’s far side in search of life—only to vanish without a trace. Decades later, their story emerges through the notes of one survivor.

Lunatics by Adam Fyda and Marek Ospalski is a daring dialogue with Jerzy Żuławski’s On the Silver Globe (published in 1903), blending retro-fantasy, hard science fiction, and Lovecraftian horror. It is a tale of silence, solitude, and existential tension, where the Moon itself becomes a mirror of humanity’s hopes, fears, and dreams. The heroes do not scream—they dream—and they invite us into their haunting, melancholic journey.

Fyda’s illustrations are precise yet atmospheric, detailed but never ostentatious, transforming the Moon into a place full of nuance, structures, and emotional voids.
