Label #4618089022

Here There Be Dragons - Written by Cynthy J. Wood and David Campiti. Art by Matt Thompson, Randy Elliott and Nestor Redondo. Partial-Wraparound Cover by Adam Hughes. Imagine an all-girl crew of sailors of the spaceways and their perilous voyages -- with cargo to carry, lies to swap, and legends to spin. Listen to their tantalizing tales of myth, serpents of the stars, sirens of the skies, vessels in the void, and ghost ships that came and went in the darkness. Enter into the realm of the Stargrazers, with newcomer Julie Green, Captain Rachel Lacey, Sherree Rhys-Hollm, Carla Withers, Poddy Podkayne, and the rest of the curvaceous crew. Travel with them to points far beyond your wildest dreams, where adventure and intrigue are just blips on the screen, beauty is an everyday affair, and a hard-driven deal is the catch of the day. In this issue, join the crew for Julie's first mission and for startling secrets that affect the future of mankind. It's carefully crafted full-color "good girl art" in space, in the classic cheesecake tradition! 32 pages, full color. Cover price $1.95.
