Style: Color overlay technique and later B&W vesion reworked tonal. Genre: SF. Time
Span: Far future. Nudity: Full frontal nudity, except in rewored version only voluptuous girl and body tight spacesuit.
Keywords: Spaceship. Androids. Last human. Aging. Earth.
Synopsis: Last human has came to the end of his life and
he wants to see the Earth for the last time. His two helpping
androids (guy and girl) burry dead man into the dust of the Earth.
Comment: There is a good open page and one spread pict
of spaceship near planet. Corben's own story is bellow average.
Alternatives,
: Never seen.
Alternatives,
: Colors
(and full frontal nudity) are prob. identical to the original.
During relettering minor texts changed, as: some "lotta"'s
and "dunno"'s became "a lot" and "don't
know". The last frase on the first page, "Huh? ...Ola! Out!"
changed to "Huh? Roger! - Out."
Alternatives,
: Reworked black plate from overlays and because of bad paper quality the result is unfortunate mess. Androids
are not nude, but wear form fitting space suits. Texts are prob.
identical with original, except the last frase on the first page as in
.
