STAINLESS STEEL RAT #1 COMIC BOOK HARRY HARRISON 86 OOP


STAINLESS STEEL RAT #1 COMIC BOOK. HARRY HARRISON

This was never sold in the mass market and only available through comic book specialty shops.

1st issue collector's item.

In the world of the future, crime is virtually unknown. Ninety-nine percent of the crimes that do occur are petty things which are quickly solved by the police. It is with a sense of pride, then that intergalactic con-man Jim di-Griz—the Stainless Steel Rat—engages in that one percent which makes the police work for their pay.

Representing stories from 2000 A.D. in FULL COLOR for the first time, this series covers the Rat’s earliest adventures, which in turn were adapted from the original Harry Harrison novels. As the series begins, di-Griz is found out by the super-secret Stealth Police, who offer him a choice—join them or die. True to his swashbuckling nature, di-Griz takes them up on their challenge, before stealing a spaceship and using it to reel in suspects by himself. With its fast-paced action, droll humor, and engaging lead character, The Stainless Steel Rat is one series that shouldn’t be missed.

COLLECTOR'S ITEM! Highly sought after.

BILL THE GALACTIC HERO GRAPHIC NOVEL! HARRY HARRISON V1



HARRY HARRISON'S BILL THE GALACTIC HERO GRAPHIC NOVEL

ILLUSTRATED BOOK.


This volume was never sold in the mass market and only available through comic book specialty shops.

Rare collector's item.

This is a volume of the beautiful full color fully painted lavishly illustrated GRAPHIC NOVEL of HARRY HARRISON'S BILL THE GALACTIC HERO series. Published in 1994 by TOPPS Comics, this volume is OUT OF PRINT and a VERY RARE COLLECTOR'S ITEM!

Lowly fuse tender Bill became a hero when he helped save his space ship, the Christine Keeler, when it fell under attack. In doing so, however, he lost his left arm. The inept ship’s doctors then made a bad situation far worse when they replaced his lost left arm with a spare right one. And this, unfortunately, was only the beginning of Bill’s problems as he found himself “rewarded” with another seven-year tour of duty. His only hope of surviving his term was to keep in mind the all-important rules of military life: (1) Keep your mouth shut, and (2) Don’t volunteer for anything.

In 1994, Topps released the series, Bill, the Galactic Hero. The story was taken from the books by science-fiction great Harry Harrison. Art was handled by Mike Gustovich and Randy Dunn...

COLLECTOR'S ITEM! Highly sought after.
