Hey Jeff, I reached out to Scholastic as a comic retailer and was able to get some info on how you could more than likely order copies of Space Race & Beyond, if you'd like! I was shot down because we're neither Canadian nor educators, but was told you'd be able to after I mentioned your comment about only having the one copy. I actually spoke with somebody you worked with back at Scholastic, I guess. I could send you their email!

I've been such a fan ever since I discovered your work. You very much inspire me on my own such stories for fun. Getting this subscription was the best thing I have done. Its been awesome to see some of your creative choices, thoughts, and direction. Thanks Jeff!! You are amazing and inspiring!!

Great stuff, Jeff. This stuff really connects with me especially since sdcc 2009 was when I met you and you gave me that wonderful sketch and chat about your work. Led me to Sweet Tooth and Essex County and brought me back to comics. Your Superboy book in 2010 was my first new lcs pull at the time since 1993! So grateful to you and all your work, Jeff. Hope to see Minnow one day, but also hope you don't feel any pressure over it. Lots of #nightnurselove, bud.

I've never heard of The Space Race and Beyond before this. Wish they had things like this in schools in America when I was a kid... I found you can order it from Scholastic... just have to be a teacher in Canada... lol

My wife is a teacher in Canada! You have to buy a 4 pack, maybe if three others were interested I could talk her into ordering a set.

I think we are out of luck. The website on which we are finding this is old. The updated Scholastic website has no listing for Space Race & Beyond! :(

Darn, but thank you for checking Scott! If I'm ever able to locate any I'll let you Cameron, and Nerdvocate know.

Also, would love to see Minnow, but between Fishflies and bringing back Royal City, where would you find the time?
