Neil and Buzz in Space and Time #1
In Neil and Buzz in Space and Time #1 (1989), written by George Alec Effinger and illustrated by Henry Mayo, two astronauts—Neil and Buzz—stumble upon their own spacecraft during a routine jog, launching them into a surreal journey to the edge of the universe. As they wander through impossible landscapes, the story quietly nods to Ray Bradbury’s influence, weaving a dreamlike exploration of memory, possibility, and the quiet wonder of space. The cover, also by Henry Mayo, captures the issue’s contemplative, otherworldly tone.

Neil and his friend Buzz encounter their ship while jogging and what ensues is a vision of what was or what could be as astronauts. They travel to the edge of the universe to discover the impossible and spend their days wandering through it, noting a Ray Bradbury science fiction short story as being a self-referential literary predecessor.
