micronauts graphic novel

A story compilation of the love journey of an Accountant and a Graphic Designer

David Selby was born and grew up in Berkeley, California. He taught elementary school in California, Mexico, and New Mexico for thirty-six years. He and his wife live in Northwest New Mexico. He has written many short stories including the Joe the Man with Gills series. Mica is his first novel. Mica, an expert navigator, uses the currents of the Darkstream to pilot his ship across the galaxy to join his love, Olivine. On the way, he befriends Ronnie, a stowaway who can look like a coat or a first aid kit, the mysterious Vuud, and the translucent “Slight People”. They experience the savage planet of Carnage and the whirling destruction of the Moon of 10,000 Drones before they even reach Olivine in the brand-new city of Garner in the midst of an unknown world.

Max arrives in Japan believing he has finally escaped his old life. A new country, a cheap room, and the promise of anonymity feel like a reset—quiet, lonely, but safe. Days blur together as he drifts on the edges of society, unseen and unimportant. Then one day, Max wakes up in complete darkness. With no sense of time, place, or how he got there, his memories begin to fracture. Ordinary moments collide with unsettling gaps, and reality starts to feel unstable. The longer he waits, the harder it becomes to tell whether he is remembering, dreaming, or losing himself. MICE is a psychological thriller about isolation, identity, and the terrifying question of what remains when no one is watching.

A boy named Vincent gets dragged into a dungeon when he suddenly finds a creature that will change his life for the better or maybe for the worse.

In the chaotic city of Zango, where survival feels like a daily accident and reality itself seems unstable, a scientist named Calado Bento—infamously known as “Doctor Bad Luck”—works at GENE-HIVE BIOTECHNOLOGIES, a biotech corporation experimenting with genetic mutations and insect-based super-organisms. When a series of bizarre incidents leads him to experiment on an ordinary cockroach using forbidden genetic technology, the creature mutates into a monstrous, intelligent entity known as Cockroachman—an unpredictable force that embodies both heroism and destruction. Declaring war on filth and corruption, it becomes a feared and mythologized figure across the city. As chaos escalates, other mutations and human-insect hybrids emerge from the same unstable scientific experiments, including Human-Cockroach, a being shaped by waste, poverty, and survival instinct, further distorting the boundary between human and monster. Meanwhile, Calado himself attempts to gain powers but instead becomes trapped in a cycle of failure, absurdity, and accidental survival, reflecting the distorted logic of Zango—a place where death, science, and comedy blur into one system of existence. The story evolves into a darkly comedic and chaotic exploration of power, mutation, and urban decay, where every attempt to control life only creates new, more unstable forms of it. .

An orphan who grew up in the slums joins society in order to grow stronger, using who his superpower to copy other people's superpower.
