Weird Science #4

Mar 1991 · Gladstone · 2.00 USD; 2.50 CAD
“Adaptability”

In "Adaptability," a generation ship bound for a distant planet faces an unexpected twist: the crew ages at a glacial pace in space, leading to a growing population that outstrips the ship’s resources. Written by Al Feldstein and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Wally Wood—both pencils and inks—this 1991 issue explores the quiet tension of survival in the void, with color by Marie Severin and letters by Jim Wroten. The cover, also by Wally Wood, captures the isolation and scale of the journey.
