[samurainoir]

Props to Boom for figuring out how to do a Blade Runner comic book without having to shell out Big Bucks to license Blade Runner!

Meh.

One thing kinda bugs me though:

>"And pairing the writing of Philip K. Dick with the lettering of Richard Starkings was a no brainer. It doesn't get any better than this!"

....are they pushing the letterer as the creative force behind a comic now....?

When he's the creative force behind the Hip Flask/Elephentmen comics, it's certainly a selling point for me.

I think these are some of the most attractive looking comics in the past decade.

Much more "European" in style and execution than most of the stuff coming out of North America these days.

I'll stick to the classic Blade Runner comic (thanks Mikey!).

I've read Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and the only positive thing I can say about it is that it inspired Blade Runner.

Reading this comic just gets me in the mood to strap on my PKD Blaster and take a trip to Downtown L.A.; drive through the 2nd Street Tunnel and make my way to the Bradbury Building to take out some Skin Jobs!

...Or maybe I should just calm the hell down and finish my Martini quietly at home.

I am a big Phillip K Dick fan and androids is one of his weaker pieces. Aside from the idea of replicants and the name Richard Deckard it has little to do with the film Blade runner

now the 3 stigmata of Palmer Eldritch is a great piece as is the pentultimate truth
