First image: The issue’s cover. Second image, page 82, featuring Ms. Mark’s Apollo Minus 12. Third image, detail of page 82 with Mark’s work. The artist is at right. The fourth image shows the upper left of page 82 with Mark’s work at right. The fifth image is a detail of the lower page with the caption to Mark’s work.

 

In Apollo Minus 12 the space mission is viewed, as it were, from a dark side. NASA’s next launch, Apollo 13, brushed tragedy four months later, art in advance of life.
