Trillium (Vertigo)

Trillium is a creator owned 8-issue comic series by Jeff Lemire, published by Vertigo Comics in 2013. Lemire's Sweet Tooth collaborator José Villarrubia is the colorist. The story is an inter-dimensional, time traveling love story between two explorers in two different time periods: William Pike, a World War I veteran on an expedition to the lost temples of the Incas in Peru in 1921, and Nika Temsmith, a botanist researching a strange flower on the outer-rim of colonized space in 3797. Separated by thousands of years, William and Nika's budding love threatens the fabric of the universe. Lemire stated that the work of Arthur C. Clarke and Moebius, and contemporary comic series Saga, had a major influence on his story.[1]

gollark: Yes, something something just world fallacy.
gollark: I don't think this matches any common definition of standards or values. Also, "human values" are somewhat thought up by humans, or at least made precise by human thinking. Also, nature contains plenty of horrible things.
gollark: It's basically the same thing as the standards you just complained about.
gollark: What?
gollark: If you have a universe entirely without human values, it isn't going to be pleasantly alien and diverse or something, but just horrible and/or boring to us.
