2001 Nights #8

A winged, ethereal figure soars through deep space on the cover of this 1991 Viz release, her translucent fairy-like wings catching light against a star-filled backdrop with a distant planet and the curve of a spacecraft visible below. Yukinobu Hoshino's art brings a haunting, dreamlike quality to the image — graceful and otherworldly in equal measure. With "Night 16: Colony" as the featured story, this issue of *2001 Nights* promises Hoshino's signature blend of hard science fiction and poetic wonder.
