Galaxion (2nd Series)

    (Helikon, 1997-1999)
™ and ©1997 Tara Jenkins

Boldly going where no one has gone before—that’s the crew of the Galaxion, the third spaceship of explorers determined to make the daring jump into hyperspace. Neither of the first two trips have been particularly successful, which is a fact that concerns (but doesn’t deter) the ship’s crew. And over the worried protests of Fusella, the ship’s captain, who resents the way the military has taken over the entire enterprise, they make the jump. What they’ll find on the other side of it is anyone’s guess.

Beyond being just about space exploration, this title is about relationships: between Fusella and her apprehensive friend Aria, who’s a bit of a dreamer; and between the two women and the men currently in charge of the ship, both members of one of the previous, failed efforts. Intelligently written and wittily drawn by Tara.
