From the back cover:

Animation cartoonist extraordinaire Bill Plympton ("Monica's Untold Story", "Plymptoons", "I Married a Strange Person") joins the NBM line-up with a graphic novel advance look at his next goofy feature-length animated film!

An astronaut's mission goes awry and he's figured forever lost until, years later, his daughter spots him on a telescope on his way back to Earth with a ship full of aliens and vengeance on his mind. Yes, vengeance, as the truth is out! Corporate bigwigs wanted his mission a failure! Our valiant (and now rather hirsute) astronaut unleashes the aliens on an aghast humanity!
