"Doctor Strange: Fall Sunrise" is a miniseries written and illustrated by creator Trad Moore and Heather Moore. It was released as a four issue miniseries in 2022, and released as a graphic novel in 2024.

The boulder is the largest of several in a small clearing in what I think of as the jungle. The growths, almost like ferns but somehow plump and wet like fungus, are pinky-orange and sit entirely within the drip-line surrounding the tiny overhang of the boulder
