BLADE RUNNER PREQUEL PHILIP K DICK COMIC BOOK DO ANDROIDS DREAM ELECTRIC SHEEP!



DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP COMIC BOOK! DUST TO DUST
PHILIP K DICK.

PREQUEL SERIES!

The book that inspired the film Blade Runner! Featuring lavish full color illustrations printed on high quality glossy paper.

Visionary sci-fi author Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep has been called 'a masterpiece ahead of its time, even today' and served as the basis for the Ridley Scott film Blade Runner. San Francisco lies under a cloud of radioactive dust. The World War 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.

A science-fiction publishing event! Who hunted androids before Rick Deckard? Taking place immediately after World War Terminus ends, the problems with artificial life - androids - become apparent. The government decides they must become targets, hunted down, but who will do the dirty work? Two men are assigned: Malcolm Reed, a 'special' human with the power to feel others' emotions, and Charlie Victor, who's the perfect man for the job - or is he? Meanwhile Samantha Wu, a Stanford biologist, fights to save the last of the world's animals. John W. Campbell Memorial Award-nominee Chris Roberson writes the prequel to John W. Campbell Memorial Award-winner Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, one of the greatest science fiction novels ever published!

Charlie Victor and Malcolm Reed continue their pursuit of the renegade androids, but it becomes unclear which side each of them is on.
