About the series
Colleen Doran’s A Distant Soil (1997–2005, Image Comics) is a lush, operatic space saga spanning just four issues, written and illustrated entirely by Doran. The series follows a young woman caught between warring alien factions, exploring themes of identity and power within a richly detailed cosmic setting. Doran’s intricate, painterly art and deeply personal storytelling make this a standout creator-owned work from the late ’90s Image era, beloved for its emotional depth and visual ambition.
