50 Girls 50 #1 - 2011 is a modern homage to the classic science fiction pulp traditions of the mid-20th century, brought vividly into the 21st century with sharp writing, stunning visuals, and a fresh but familiar edge. Published by Image Comics, this debut issue blends space adventure with a strong dose of pin-up aesthetic, delivering a stylish and fast-paced introduction to a universe full of danger, mystery, and allure.

Co-created by the late Frank Cho, who is well-known for his distinct artistic style and fascination with strong, beautifully rendered female leads, this series was written by Doug Murray, with artwork from Axel Medellin. Their collaboration results in a sleek, visually compelling comic that doesn’t shy away from embracing its pulp roots. Expect slick spacecraft, perilous planetary missions, and a crew made up entirely of intelligent, capable women — each uniquely designed and with her own skillset that contributes to the mission’s survival.

The premise centres around a group of genetically selected women sent into deep space to explore habitable planets and secure resources critical for Earth’s survival. But in true sci-fi fashion, the real danger begins once the mission starts. The narrative wastes no time plunging readers into exotic alien worlds, deadly threats, and internal crew tensions, all delivered with fast pacing and gorgeous, polished art.

The artwork is a clear highlight. Axel Medellin’s line work and layouts create an energetic and seductive atmosphere without ever descending into cliché. The visuals are detailed and vibrant, with character designs that show a clear appreciation for anatomy and expression. This issue strikes a strong balance between classic pulp stylings and modern storytelling.

Perfect for fans of space operas and classic sci-fi anthologies, this is more than just eye-catching art — it’s a confident, action-packed launch into a new science fiction saga. It’s bold, stylish, and unashamedly fun.
