October 1988. Comico adapted ROBOTECH into comics form on a one-episode-per-issue basis, but Episode 37, "Dana's Story," got lengthier treatment in this 42-page special. "Dana's Story" is the only "new" episode of the original ROBOTECH series; it's essentially a clip show, constructed by editing together footage from SUPER DIMENSION FORTRESS MACROSS and SUPER DIMENSION CAVALRY SOUTHERN CROSS to support the assertion that the blond heroine of SOUTHERN CROSS, Dana Sterling (called Jeanne Françaix in the original show), is the half-Zentraedi daughter of MACROSS costars Max and Miriya (called Komilia Maria in MACROSS). For the comics adaptation, Markalan Joplin also incorporates some elements from the Jack McKinney novels and the ROBOTECH graphic novel Comico had published two years earlier.

Making Dana the daughter of Max and Miriya created a stronger link between the two segments of the American series, and also became part of the chronological spine of the series: The present-day sequences of "Dana's Story" have Dana and her friend Bowie Grant graduating from the military academy on the 15th anniversary of Khyron's final assault on the SDF-1, making Dana 16 or 17 years old. Since ROBOTECH: THE MACROSS SAGA takes place over a somewhat longer period than the equivalent events in the Japanese MACROSS series, ending in early 2014, that means SOUTHERN CROSS begins in 2029. For a long time, this was about the only point about the chronology of the series that anyone agreed on, although the official timeline now says the ROBOTECH MASTERS period ends in mid-2030, not quite 18 months later.
