Stephen McCranie's Space Boy #3
In "Li'l Amy," Stephen McCranie delivers a quietly poignant chapter in his offbeat sci-fi series, where a young girl’s life takes a surreal turn after joining the agriculture club—only to find herself drawn into a web of time, friendship, and secrets. As Amy reconnects with her long-lost best friend Jemmah, now decades older due to stasis, and tentatively agrees to a date with Zeph, her bond with the enigmatic Oliver grows more complicated, especially when her classmate Dave starts digging into the impossible truth about him. With McCranie handling every aspect of the art, inks, colors, and letters, the story unfolds with a delicate balance of whimsy and emotional weight.
