Mars Base Pilot: Comic Book Action on the Red Planet

Bold comic book style illustration of a brave pilot in a high-tech spaceflight suit, standing inside a Martian base. The base features modular habitat pods, blue-glow consoles, airlocks, diagnostic screens, and a large viewport revealing the red Martian desert and swirling dust outside. The pilot holds a helmet under one arm and strikes a dynamic heroic pose, with patches and insignia on the suit. Thick black ink outlines, vibrant cel shading, motion lines, and Ben-Day halftone textures give a classic superhero comic feel. Dramatic perspective with foreshortening and a stylized onomatopoeia burst like 'THRUST!' in a speech bubble. Color palette dominated by Mars reds and oranges, electric blue highlights, and white accents. A touch of retro sci-fi flair blends with modern base interiors for a bold, cinematic scene.
