The new hit series from DSTRLY by JOCK continues!
It's been fifteen years since we last saw ABI-a frightened 13-year-old stowaway on a spaceship bound for distant stars... Now nearly 30, Abi is not only still roaming the galaxy, but is a self-assured-and deeply scarred-veteran of an intergalactic war!
Beautiful written and drawn by JOCK - Eisner Award winning artist of SNOW ANGELS & BATMAN: ONE DARK KNIGHT - GONE is in an action-packed sci-fi adventure where a young heroine has grown into a war-weary spacefarer who still dreams of one elusive goal.... getting home.

He predominately relies on dialogue to advance the story, more
