Vanishing Point #4

(W) Mark Russell (A) Jok (L) Carlos M. Mangual (CA) Chris Weston

In ‘Proof of Life’, a robot is accused of sentience and put on trial. If it is found to be alive, it will be destroyed. But what proves that you are alive more than not wanting to be destroyed? The brainchild of Mark Russell, Vanishing Point is an anthology series of short stories that are part science fiction and part existential horror, with an exceptional roster of artists tackling each tale. These are stories with a twist in which the twist is not the point of the story, but a beginning point from which to ask what it means to be alive.
