Plot
Zed Hudson is walking down the street with Jenny Everywhere when they see a flying saucer headed in their direction. Zed starts to get worked up about the possibility of horrible alien invaders, but instead, a rather beautiful space-nymph steps out and asks, in polite if slightly broken English, for directions to Roswell, New Mexico.
Some time later, the alien girl would make a return to Zed's city and he would introduce her, first to his friend, Marcus, and then to the rest of his immediate circle of friends as "Neila".

Behind the scenes
Background
Johann-Octavius Gans appended the comic with the following commentary:
| Don'tcha just hate it when flying saucers land? You want sexy space-nymphs and get giant spider-lizards. You want big-headed geniuses who will share the knowledge of the cosmos and you get freaky-deaky space hippies. You want extraterrestrial heroes with abilities far beyond those of mortal men, you get war-mongering star cannibals. And just when you're actually prepared for the worst - you get sexy space nymphs. |
