Secret S.T.E.A.M. Society Vol. 3: Spaceflight

(W) Paul Kupperberg (A) Bill Walko

The Secret S.T.E.A.M. Society is made up of a group of students from different grade levels that come together with their good friend, Toot, who is an exchange student from another planet, to learn, teach and understand the world and the universe around us.

The Story of Spaceflight is a journey through humanity’s quest to understand our place in the universe…and our struggles to reach the stars. Guided by the curious students of the London Academy of ideas and Ingenuity, readers travel through time and space to witness the evolution of spaceflight—from the invention of gunpowder in ancient China and early rocketry to Newton’s laws of physics, the Wright brothers’ first flight, the jet age, and the space race. They explore moon landings, space stations, and the bold dreams for humanity’s future among the stars. Blending science, history, and imagination, this engaging tale brings to life the milestones that shaped our path into space.

The Secret of S.T.E.A.M. Society makes Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics into the Ultimate Adventure

Papercutz has announced The Secret of S.T.E.A.M. Society, a sweeping new graphic novel series designed to spark discovery across science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics.

Set inside the London Academy of Ideas and Ingenuity—a fictional 6-12 grade school that champions creativity and collaboration—the series follows a rotating cast of inventive students as they tackle real-world challenges through hands-on learning, experimentation, and a dash of fantasy alongside their friend Toot, who just so happens to be an extraterrestrial exchange student sent to earth to learn about our world. Each volume begins with the students asking big questions that relate to their studies and personal lives, before launching readers into globe-spanning adventures where they might shrink to microscopic size, time-travel through history, or even cross galaxies in pursuit of knowledge with help from Toot’s advanced alien technology.

The debut volume, Secret S.T.E.A.M. Society: Horses, arrives February 10, 2026 (hardcover $19.99 | paperback $12.99, ages 7–12, 128 pages, ISBN 9781545823316). Written by Trevor Mueller with art by Gabriel Mayorga, the adventure introduces nervous first-time rider Thea and her classmates as they dove deep—literally microscopic and cosmically far—to understand these magnificent animals. Rutgers University’s Dr. Carey A. Williams provides a foreword and contributed as a verification specialist.

Next up, Secret S.T.E.A.M. Society: Music on April 21, 2026 (hardcover $19.99 | paperback $12.99, ages 7–12, 128 pages, ISBN 9781545823767). Trevor Mueller teams with artist Christian Colbert for a sonic quest through sound waves, vocal cords, and the science of music. Yale School of Music’s Albert R. Lee, D.M. provides a foreword and contributed as a verification specialist.

Later in 2026, veteran comic book writer Paul Kupperberg and artist Bill Walko chart humanity’s quest for the stars in Secret S.T.E.A.M. Society: Spaceflight, exploring everything from ancient rocketry to the modern space race and beyond!
