Womanthology: Space #1
"Waiting for Mr. Roboto" in Womanthology: Space #1 (2012) delivers a tense, atmospheric sci-fi tale from writer Sandy King Carpenter and artist Tanja Wooten, with lettering by Rachel Deering. An astronaut alone aboard a derelict spaceship sets demolition charges, haunted by the ghost of Miranda Cassidy—the sole crewmember who died during the ship’s evacuation—while awaiting his rescue. The haunting is subtle but persistent, building unease in the silence of space. Cover by Renae De Liz captures the isolation with stark, haunting detail.
