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, : 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". Last frase on first page, "Huh? ...Ola! Out!" becames "Huh? Roger! - Out.".
Alternatives, : Colors have flattened to B&W and result is unfortunate mess. Androids are not nude, but wear form fitting space suits. Texts are prob. identical with original.
