*Martha Washington Stranded in Space* is a comic book series created by Frank Miller and Dave Gibbons, published by Dark Horse Comics in the 1990s. It is a spin-off from the original *Martha Washington* series, which was part of a larger project that included *Give Me Liberty* and other stories involving the character.
In *Martha Washington Stranded in Space*, the story takes place in a dystopian future where Martha Washington, a strong-willed and resourceful woman, is sent on a mission in space. The plot centers on her being stranded on an alien planet, where she must survive and navigate a hostile, unfamiliar environment. Like many of the stories in the *Martha Washington* series, this narrative combines action, science fiction, and social commentary, exploring issues like war, oppression, and the human condition.
Martha Washington herself is portrayed as a determined, resilient character who often finds herself in difficult and dangerous situations but consistently fights to overcome them. This series, as with the other Martha Washington stories, uses sharp political and societal critiques, blending elements of action-packed sci-fi with Frank Miller's signature gritty, intense storytelling and Dave Gibbons' detailed artwork.
*Martha Washington Stranded in Space* adds to the complexity of Martha's character, taking her out of familiar earthly conflicts and placing her in an entirely new and alien setting, where she faces not only physical challenges but also the exploration of her identity and the choices that define her as a person. The series is both an exciting adventure and a meditation on larger themes of survival, autonomy, and power.
