I've noticed in more recent sci-fi comics I read (yeah, yeah, I know) that the idea of biological spacecraft is becoming more and more popular. It's probably because it gives the writers and artists another angle to play with, but I think it helps to push the public's imagination further into the realm of what might be possible. It is, for all intents and purposes, an infinite universe and by all accounts, it's very unlikely that any intelligent life we might encounter would resemble us closely, if at all. And considering the sheer diversity of lifeforms found on our own planet, it really presents us with this idea that alien life will not only be alien to our ecology, but to our imaginations as well.
