DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP GRAPHIC NOVEL!
PHILIP K DICK. V3
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. 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 BOOM! Studios as 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, groundbreaking maxi-series experiment illustrated by acclaimed Wolf artist Steven Dupre for the science-fiction publishing event of the year!
Thanks to the Rosen Corporation and its invention, the Nexus-6 android brain, humanity's artificial counterparts are now harder to detect than ever. But bounty hunter Rick Deckard has a special weapon in his arsenal - the empathy test. Philip K. Dick's award-winning novel, the basis for the film Blade Runner, comes to comics in an innovative full-text, illustrated adaptation with backmatter by Rockne S. O'Bannon (Farscape).
