What’s a mining operation without dust?
By the way, it’s 09-09-09 today. Do something today… all the way to the nines.
Security Agent Captain Cassandra Quinn is on assignment to the mining outpost Luna Seven amid rumors of pirates near the outpost. On her approach to the complex, she saw something moving around on the surface of the moon that shouldn’t have been. During her attempts to verify her visual sighting, a mysterious ship blasted her out of the sky. Her story starts HERE.
Meanwhile, miner Simon Tripline is waking up and getting ready for his day while the morning news talks of Terraluna Universal’s plans to project their logo onto the moon, which has drawn protests. The news also mentions rumors of piracy surrounding the disappearance of a shipment of ore from Luna Seven. As Simon walks to work, he sees something strange through a porthole. Did he really see it? Or were his eyes playing tricks on him?
Nothing like a bit of coffee to clear the senses, but even that brings an irritant in the form of Vin Sinclair, who is evidently one of Luna Seven’s top performers on the drill. But is there a dark secret to his success? Simon’s story starts HERE.

This is all so fun! I love it!
Methinks this is unexpected. He wouldn’t look at the dust like that if he saw it all the time…
I guess Jimmy gave him a new interest in dust.
Wonder what makes it so special.
Ah, we all have those troublemakers in our lives who open our eyes to things that were right in front of us, eh?
Great job on the comic Steve.
Wish I could go see “9″ at the movies today. Looks like a good one. Hopefully soon. I wish Shane the best of luck with it.
Can I compliment you on the design of the mining helmet? It really looks plausible and cool!
Matt – thank you for noticing! It was a last minute redesign and previous strip retrofit, too… I remembered at the final moment that it needs to be spaceworthy… the helmet that almost wasn’t!
Love the glove. I’m sure there’s a Burne Hogarth hand inside.
You know how to compliment a guy, Mike!
Hogarth… I’m not worthy!
Of course, he did teach many of us to draw, didn’t he?
