“Nostalgia” - sixth volume of “Phoenix”. IMHO - one of the most beatiful love stories ever written.
Set in the distant future it follows history of Eden 17 - colony in space established by Romy (depicted) and her husband, George. Unfortunately, he dies shortly after arrival. Romy decides to go on no matter what. She bears a son and after some time she bears another children with her own son… But for some reason she’s unable to have a daughter.
After many decades Romy starts to feel an unspeakable nostalgia for Earth. The feeling is so strong that she decides to visit it. More info with more panels…
