This was a great little series from Charlton Comics. John Byrne was still a fresh raw talent, full of energy and oozing talent and anxious to tell stories. Joe Gill fashioned his typical wonderful script, giving us four very differnt individuals. The three astronauts, two women and a guy meet up with an unfrozen Viking after the world is destroyed by nuclear weapsons while they glide helplessly in orbit above. The world they find when they land is dangerous and exotic. The use of the Statue of Liberty was iconic, bringing to mind the post-apocalyptic vision of Planet of the Apes and Jack Kirby's Kamandi. This is jewel.
