Marvel Strip #8

In Marvel Strip #8, a 1980s European import with a 5,95 NLG cover price, writer and artist Rick Veitch crafts a quietly devastating sci-fi tale set on the distant planet Epsilon Bootis. Earth’s settlers, communicating only through outdated 1950s TV broadcasts, wage war against the native Ploo, while Rimbaud, an Earth woman with the rare "Heartburst" ability, searches for others like her to bridge the gap. When Sunoco Firestone, unaware of his own latent talent, falls in love with Maia, a Ploo high priestess, their bond ignites a chain of events that fractures the fragile peace—until a long-lost connection across worlds finally reopens. Cover by Rick Veitch.
