Captain Sternn: Running Out of Time

Bernie Wrightson, celebrated for his lush, macabre detail, both wrote and illustrated this five-issue 1993-1994 Kitchen Sink Press miniseries. It follows the titular Captain Sternn, a space-faring rogue introduced in Wrightson's earlier work, as he faces a literal deadline on his own life. The series showcases Wrightson's singular blend of dark humor and intricate, gothic-inspired sci-fi, making it a distinctive, creator-driven gem from the early 90s independent comics scene.
