PKDs Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? ska bli serietidning. Känns riktigt intressant och helt klart något jag vill ta mig en närmare titt på framöver.

The Philip K. Dick story “Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?,” which served as the inspiration for the 1982 science-fiction film “Blade Runner,” will be adapted into a 24-issue comic book series by publisher BOOM! Studios.

Announced earlier today, the series will adapt the award-winning story by “mixing all new panel-to-panel continuity with the actual text from the novel.” Artist Steven Dupre (”Wolf”) will provide interior art for the series, and you can expect to see the first issue hit shelves in June. “Transmetropolitan” and “FreakAngels” writer Warren Ellis — no stranger to celebrated science-fiction storytelling — will provide “backmatter” in each issue.

Boom also provided a trio of cover images from the upcoming series.

Helt klart intressant att få läsa om Deckard och hans elektriska får igen.
Warren Ellis brukar ju vara intressant men har han jobbat med en litterär förlaga innan?

[Cartman]

Tror inte det, men jag har inte så bra koll på honom om jag ska vara ärlig.

Någon som har någon aning om när detta kommer ut i handeln?

[Cartman]

Lösnumren har redan börjat att ges ut.

1/12 släpps "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? Vol. 1 (Hardcover)"

Kommer tydligen bli 6 sådana utgåvor. Vet dock inte hur många av lösnumren som varje hardcover samlar.

Mitt standardpris på den där är 186 kronor, för intresserade.

Själv är jag intresserad, och planerar att införskaffa.

Enligt min info så är boken på 112 sidor, vilket borde innebära att den rymmer omkring 5 nummer. Eller fyra + lite extramaterial, kanske.

Kommer ut den 1:a december, så lagom till julhandeln alltså..

THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED THE FILM BLADE RUNNER COMES TO COMICS! Worldwide best-selling sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick's award-winning DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? has been called "a masterpiece ahead of its time, even today" and served as the basis for the film BLADE RUNNER. BOOM! Studios is honored to present the complete novel transplanted into the comic book medium, mixing all new panel-to-panel continuity with the actual text from the novel in an innovative, ground-breaking 24-issue maxi-series experiment.

San Francisco lies under a cloud of radioactive dust. The World War has killed millions, driving entire species to extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remained coveted any living creature, and for people who couldn't afford one, companies built incredibly realistic fakes: horses, birds, cats, sheep... even humans. Rick Deckard is an officially sanctioned bounty hunter tasked to find six rogue androids -- they're machines, but look, sound, and think like humans -- clever, and most of all, dangerous humans. Rick Deckard, Pris, The Voight-Kampff Test, Nexus 6 androids, the Tyrell Corporation: join us for the publishing event of the year! "After I finished reading the screenplay for BLADE RUNNER, I got the novel out and looked through it. The two reinforce each other, so that someone who started with the novel would enjoy the movie and someone who started with the movie would enjoy the novel." -- Philip K. Dick
