Beyond Mars

Jack Williamson and Lee Elias brought the classic newspaper strip Beyond Mars to Blackthorne Publishing in 1989, crafting a five-issue comic series that extends the original's vision of a perilous, colonized solar system. This short but vivid run captures the golden age of sci-fi adventure, with Elias's clean, dynamic art illustrating Williamson's imaginative tales of space pioneers and alien encounters. For fans of vintage newspaper comics and retro-futurism, it's a compact, lovingly preserved piece of comics history.
