Comic science fiction is a sub-genre of soft science fiction or science fantasy that exploits the genre’s conventions for comic effect. Comic science fiction often mocks or satirizes standard SF conventions like alien invasion of Earth interstellar travel or futuristic technology.An early example was the Pete Manx series by Henry Kuttner and Arthur K. Barnes (sometimes writing together and sometimes separately under the house pen-name of Kelvin Kent).
