About the series
In the late 1990s, Image Comics published Grease Monkey, a two-issue series that blended science fiction with a lighthearted, character-driven tone. The story is set aboard a massive starship where a young human protagonist works alongside a quirky alien mechanic, exploring themes of friendship and adventure in a vividly imagined spacefaring world. Though brief, the series is remembered for its charming art and the early-career work of writer/artist Tim Eldred, who later expanded the concept. It remains a cult touchstone for fans of creator-owned, offbeat sci-fi from that era.
