Martha Washington: Stranded in Space

    (Dark Horse, 1995)
™ and ©1995 Dave Gibbons and Frank Miller

Dave Gibbons and Frank Miller created this one-shot special in 1995, a sequel to their Martha Washington Goes to War mini-series. In it, Martha and the clone Pearl are sent into space to investigate an anomaly. When they approached the strange rift in space, they received a signal on their ship’s computer that led them to think they were being attacked. They returned fire, only to learn that the “missile” being launched at them from the other side of the spatial rift was really just a friendly greeting buoy. Feeling guilty, then entered the rift to lend assistance to the beings they had fired on. When they got to the other side, however, they were in for a very big surprise.

As much an conclusion to the Martha Washington stories, this special is a humorous tip of the hat to the Miller and Gibbons’ earlier creations, including Watchmen and The Big Guy and Rusty.
