One thing that is different is that this issue features a short comic life story of Cecilia Payne, a woman astronomer and astrophysicist who was a pioneer in the field. Her research was later appropriated by her male academic advisor. This piece of history illustrated in the back of the comic puts a real-life story to the otherwise fictional Jill Trent. The reader is invited to not only imagine other adventures for Jill Trent, but to imagine other female scientists may have been erased throughout time by systems and people who believed that women couldn’t or shouldn’t be practicing scientists.
