DescriptionI almost can't believe I'm actually handling pages from this brilliant illustrated version of Alfred Bester's remarkable tale of survival, revenge and eventual redemption, as brilliantly depicted by the fierce & experimental young talent of Howard Chaykin from way back in 1979!This is one of the first sophisticated colour American graphic novels, #5 in the Millennium SF Masterworks series, a library of the finest science fiction ever written. This book earns it's place, with interest. "Science fiction has only produced a few works of actual genius, and this is one of them"-Joe Haldeman Marooned in outer space after an attack on his ship, Nomad, Gulliver Foyle lives to obsessively pursue the crew of a rescue vessel that had intended to leave him to die. As you can see from this page, his resourcefulness is close to miraculous. His will to live is pure steel. And his drive for revenge is terrifying, as becomes clear as the story unfolds - and it is one hell of an epic story, with thrills and spills, twists and turns a-plenty. Made one hell of an impression on my young mind, so having this incredible artwork in my hands after all this time is...well, it's time travel. A landmark work, written by - get this! - the same man who created the iconic Green Lantern Oath and, of course, painted by one of the finest graphic storytellers of our time. GULLY FOYLE IS MY NAME AND TERRA IS MY NATION DEEP SPACE IS MY DWELLING PLACE THE STARS MY DESTINATION! Social/Sharing |

Thanks for stopping by, Big T! The book is seriously worth a read - it's Chaykin at his best, married to sci-fi high adventure at it's best and most unpredictable!
You can find the book on Read Comics Online but after acquiring this artwork I've a big hunger to just go buy it!
