Craig Mazin reveals TheLastOfUs was inspired by Watchmen's Tales of the Black Freighter for Starlight Savage: 'We wanted to do something similar where there was, like, this sci-fi comic that speaks to the same themes of relationships and love.'
One iconic graphic novel played a major role in the development of the story of The Last of Us episode 5. With Joel and Ellie stranded in Kansas City, the two eventually come to ally with Henry and Sam as they try to work their way out of the city. Henry's plans and Joel's brawn helps to get them to a tunnel, where Ellie and Sam finally have a moment to be typical kids, despite being in the midst of an apocalypse.
While wasting time in a children's play area, Ellie and Sam stumble across The Last of Us' strangest collectible: Savage Starlight. The comic book itself was inspired by the comic-book-within-a-comic-book element of The Watchmen and centers on a single mantra that Mazin highlighted: "Endure and survive."
