“The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy”

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy #1 (1993, DC) kicks off with Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect fleeing the sudden destruction of Earth by the Vogon Constructor Fleet, setting off on a chaotic journey across the cosmos. Written by Douglas Adams and John Carnell, with art by Steve Leialoha and inks by Art Nichols, Stephen Baskerville, and Leialoha, the issue captures the absurd humor and cosmic scale of Adams’ original vision. The cover by Steve Leialoha and Steve Fastner perfectly frames the moment just before the end of the world.
