A charming 6-page comic that reminds readers every hero—big or small—needs a little attention.
Earth — November, 2025 — Space Ranger Fred proudly announces the release of Space Ranger Fred: Jupiter’s Solo Mission, a heartwarming 6-page short comic that follows everyone’s favorite space pup, Jupiter, as he sets off on an unexpected solo adventure across the galaxy.
When Space Ranger Fred, Zando, and the Princess get caught up in their own projects around the station, Jupiter finds himself feeling ignored. But instead of sulking, this brave little dog takes matters into his own paws—piloting a small scout ship on a daring trip to his Gran’s house. Along the way, Jupiter faces cosmic chaos, asteroid fields, and cat-like alien mischief in this lighthearted, all-ages story about independence, curiosity, and love.
“Jupiter’s Solo Mission is my favorite kind of story to tell—simple, funny, and full of heart,” said creator Richie Williams. “It shows that even when we’re busy saving the galaxy, the ones we love just want a little attention.”
Featuring colorful artwork and a self-contained story, Jupiter’s Solo Mission continues the Space Ranger Fred series’ tradition of fun, accessible adventures for readers of all ages. Fans of classic Saturday morning cartoons and space comedies will find plenty to smile about as Jupiter reminds his crewmates what really matters.
Space Ranger Fred: Jupiter’s Solo Mission is now available digitally by subscribing to the Space Ranger Fred Mailing List, and marks the second installment in the Space Ranger Fred comic universe.
