Each of the books is loosely structured around a series of short graphic stories, all of which are taking place in a unified timeline spanning several hundred years. Many of the stories are related to each other (even across books), each building upon the achievements of the previous ones. The stories are often (but not always) scientifically plausible, recalling a lot of the early science fiction of the 1950 and 1960 eras.
