Summary
A collection of short comics relating some of history's most notable failures, mistakes, botched inventions, and unfulfilled dreams.--Publisher"History is often written by the winners... but now, the award-winning independent publisher Iron Circus is jumping through the cracks in history to spotlight those who didn't let failure stop their dreams. FAILURE TO LAUNCH: A TOUR OF ILL-FATED FUTURES is a light-hearted, educational tour of (so far!) unrealized technological and societal advances promised in years past, but which never came to be. FAILURE TO LAUNCH tells the tales of what could have been, but wasn't: planned utopias in space, wild inventions, attempts to improve society, robot pets, and predictions of Armageddon. With over 300 pages of full color comics, this collection of disasters explores a wide variety of hopes and dreams falling to pieces." --, Provided by publisher
