Shallod of PellamInvasion of the Space Amazons from the Purple PlanetS'San of Nixsia

This title, written by Wendy Griswold, was the focus of most of Dale's artistic output from 1996-1999 and is one of the more substatial works he has in print. In this feminist science fiction adventure in comic form, S'san and Shallod - two travelers from a planet populated entirely by women - travel to our earth, contrasting this world's culture with their experiences on the purple planet that they call home. Their mission: investigate this planet which is so similar to their own planet's past . . . and determine the fate of the lost traveler who went before them, Jahnae (the 1970's space amazon)! While some parts of the story may be rather complex, this is a novel-length epic which can be shared by all ages.
