-2020 Additional- Blueline inks now finished by multiple artists. Andrew's personal favorite posted above. Pencils retained separately.
While the lower-rez of this scan might not have enough detail to show, there are numerous in-jokes concealed in the SPACEWALL illustration done by Cary. Calvin & Hobbes, Wolverine, Batman, various Star Wars characters, Judge Dredd, Abraham Lincoln... Who knows whether or not that might have got past editorial.

1 Side-to-side LONG-SHOT of the SPACEWALL again. It's sealed tight. Worked w/in the energy field of the wall are the thousands of faces of HWers who sacrificed their lives for their world. This panels flanked by Acroyear and Huntarr in their EF forms. Have fun w/ all those faces, Cary!!!
2 Now the 'Nauts are coming down off their trip, having killed the ship. Huntarr is the first to touch down, visibly starting to revert back to his normal form, exhausted from his cosmic experience. He's letting us know that the living ship is dead. The crystal is a deeper hue of blue now, dying.
3 FULL-SHOT of Rann/Fireflyte. In unison, they're revealing some bit of intrigue and confirming that the life-crystal of the ship is now inert--as is the ship.
4 CUT TO the EXT of the living ship as it rolls belly up, dead. Homeworld floats in the BG, it's dark maw made by the K'Lar suddenly looks hungry. The living ship should look like it's beginning to fall towards it.
