We weren't the first into space. That was the Soviets.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin
Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin[a][b] (9 March 1934 – 27 March 1968) was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut who, aboard the first successful crewed spaceflight, became the first person to journey into outer space.
The Moon, yes.
Yuri Gagarin wasn't the first into space. Laika was.
RIP Laika.
(Still Russian, tho)
"Humans weren't the first species to make it into space"
I like the sound of that.
If you believe panspermia theory, Earthlings weren't the first species into space.
didn't find a comic instance
There are communities:
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=comics
!comics@lemmy.ml, though I avoid the lemmy.ml instance.
!eurographicnovels@lemm.ee. says that it was originally intended for Franco-Belgian stuff but opened up.
!comics@hexbear.net. I avoid hexbear.net.
!britishcomics@feddit.uk. I understand that the artist here is British.
Thanks
No prob. I also originally mistyped the eurographicnovels community name, so if you tried to go there and it was broken, it should work now.
It works. I’ve repost into the British instance, the other seems inactive
thanks for the help, I’ll try to remember the search engine you gave.
First... !comicbooks@lemmy.world says "Hello!"

I'd also suggest the six issue Albion:

And the Luther Arkwright books:

The original story was 9 issues, which were re-printed by Dark Horse, then they had another 9 issue sequel:

Recently they released an original graphic novel bringing the story to a conclusion:
