The Martian Relic: A Comic Book Odyssey

On a rust-red Martian plain, a sacred relic—a translucent orb etched with glowing blue and gold runes—hovers above the dusty ground, bathed in a halo of light. Around it stand explorers in glossy retro-futuristic space suits, their visors reflecting the glow. A domed Martian colony and jagged canyon silhouettes rise under a deep crimson sky. Rendered in bold comic book style with thick black ink outlines, vibrant saturated colors, halftone shading, and panel-like composition; include dynamic action lines and speech bubbles to emphasize awe and discovery.
