Artist's Edition #55

"Chapter One: 'Last Dreams Broken'" from Artist's Edition #55 (2017, IDW) presents a striking early encounter in the post-apocalyptic saga of Killraven, as he and his gang scout Cape Canaveral and cross paths with Jenette Miller, one of the final astronauts from the era before the Martian invasion. Written by Don McGregor and rendered in lush, evocative detail by P. Craig Russell—both in pencils and inks—this issue captures a moment of fragile hope amid a ruined world, with Tom Orzechowski’s lettering anchoring the story’s emotional weight. The cover, also by Russell, complements the narrative’s haunting tone with its distinctive, painterly style.
