Previously on Marooned…

While attempting to send a message to Earth, John fell ill. He returned to the Martian sanctuary Vita to administer antibiotics, which made him worse. Ugo has now brought him to the Volotrum (also called The Dark Ones), his only remaining chance to be healed.

Meanwhile, Asimov and Ril got trapped in a sandstorm and had taken sanctuary inside Captain John’s ship.

Yeah, this is sweet, sweet cinematic goodness. Love that lighting.

And John – God help him, he almost looks like The Thinker back there. Comedy gold.

Thanks Og – I didn’t purposely make him look like the thinker, but as soon as I drew it, I was like, the thinker!

Very nice. These last couple of pages have been chalked full of atmosphere and moodiness.
