Stephen McCranie's Space Boy #5

In Stephen McCranie’s *Space Boy* #5, a 2019 Dark Horse release, Amy ventures into an abandoned waste treatment plant to reach Oliver, who’s withdrawn into silence despite her efforts. As tensions rise between Dave and Cassie—whose relationship fractures under the weight of control—Amy quietly pushes Cassie to open up, while Oliver remains distant, his graffiti murals echoing a past he won’t reclaim. Written and illustrated by Stephen McCranie, with inks by the same, this issue blends quiet emotional depth with the series’ signature surreal edge, all captured in a cover by McCranie.
