Space Boy in Outer Space is a series of comics focused on a sci-fi action hero that launched in or before 1979 and spanning at least 150 issues. Space Boy was Fry's favourite comic as a kid and he continued to read it while working at Panucci's Pizza. In the 31st century Frank Miller's Head wrote a reimaining of the series entitled "The Dark 'Naut Returns Overdue Library Books", shortly afterwards production on a film staring Calculon and Fry as Space Boy was started but cancelled after the script was leaked.
Releases included "The Amazing Space Boy" Annual #5, December 1988 and Space Boy #150, "The Death of Space Boy".

Trivia
- The title of issue #150 is most likely a reference to The Death of Superman storyline, which ended with Superman being alive.
- "The Dark 'Naut Returns" is a reference to Batman aka The Dark Knight.
- Space Boy is one of the choices given to Free Waterfall III to identify as a series that has not run for one thousand issues. While the answer wasn't revealled, there is a 66% chance that this was one of the long running comics. But given that one of the series ended in 1999 this series most likely reached issue #1000 by the year 3002.
