When Druuna gets trapped in the computer mind, Will enters it to rescue her.

In the album Druuna X, Serpieri asserts that he styled Druuna as influenced by Valérie Kaprisky's appearance in the film La Femme publique but because he had drawn so many Western comics in those days, in the first few pages of Morbus Gravis Druuna was portrayed with Native American facial features before reaching her current look.

Druuna, Will, and a few others escape in a rescue capsule, where they are all put into a state of suspended animation.

After the capsule crashes on an unknown planet, Druuna awakens alone.

Toward that aim, they decide to clone Druuna.
