The Story

An ink portrait of Doug Eiffel, a dark haired man wearing a white space suit. His expression is peaceful, his eyes are closed. The background is made up of splotches of dark blues and hints of purples speckled with white stars; there's a solid white halo a

"Hi, this is, uh... Doug. Doug Eiffel. I'm currently on a road-trip across those good ol' US of A - my friends think it might help me recover my memories. Because see, apparently I did something very brave, and very stupid, and now that world I'm supposed to know is, well - strange and unfamiliar."

"So join me, I suppose, as I explore this Brave New World."

Our Home Away From Home is a free digital zine that aims to explore the tribulations of those space explorers we learned to love (and/or love to hate) after their return back to Earth. Only one rule: this is a road-trip, and everyone is going to have fun (or at least, so says Minkowski.)
