Planet Series #5
In "Death of a Dream," Althea finds herself drawn to rising singer Peter Bryde, her hopes for love and partnership rising with his career. But her friend Dorothy’s warning lingers—past stars have faded, and not all who shine stay. When Althea offers Peter financial help, the line between support and sacrifice begins to blur. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Charles Nicholas, with inks by Vince Alascia, this poignant tale captures the fragile balance between ambition and loyalty. The cover, by Mike Vosburg, reflects the emotional weight of a moment that could change everything.
