Escape from Terra #1

A determined ensemble of armed colonists and frontier types crowd the cover of this 2010 Big Head Press collection, with a sleek spacecraft and a ruddy planet looming large in the star-filled background behind them. Sandy Sandfort, Scott Bieser, and Lee Oaks bring a rugged, lived-in energy to this outer-solar-system adventure, where the cast's mix of confident postures and ready weapons hints at a group that won't back down from a fight. Escape from Terra Volume 1 makes a strong case for space-frontier storytelling with a diverse crew and a sense of wide-open possibility.
