BOOM! Studios y Electric Shepherd Productions presentarán el próximo mes de junio una nueva adaptación al cómic de la novela ¿Sueñan los androides con ovejas eléctricas? del escritor californiano Philip K. Dick.
El dibujante Steven Dupre y el guionista Warren Ellis son los responsables de esta interesante adaptación al noveno arte de la novela que inspiró la película Blade Runner del realizador británico sir Ridley Scott.
Este cómic, del que ya se adelantaron cuatro portadas alternativas del primer número dibujadas por los artistas Denis Calero, Bill Sienkiewicz, Scott Keating y Moritat, se presentará dividido en veinticuatro entregas.
BOOM! Studios presenta ahora otras tres portadas alternativas para el segundo número de esta interesante serie.
Electric Shepherd Productions fue fundada por Laura Leslie e Isa Dick Hackett, hijas del desaparecido autor, para administrar el legado literario de Philip K. Dick en sus numerosas adaptaciones a los distintos medios.
San Francisco lies under a cloud of radioactive dust. The World War has 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, that not only look, sound, and think like humans, but are clever, and most of all, dangerous just like humans. Rick Deckard, Pris, The Voight-Kampff Test, Nexus 6 androids, the Tyrell Corporation…
In 2021 Earth is a far uglier place. Most humans are on Mars but Deckard’s back home, among the wretched. See San Francisco as its denizens try to live in the aftereffect of World War Terminus. If they think human life is hard, try being an android among the masses…
Worldwide best-selling sci-fi author Philip K. Dick’s award-winning DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? – the basis for the film BLADE RUNNER – comes to comics in an innovative, ground-breaking maxi-series with the full text, fully illustrated. Thanks to the Rosen Corporation and its invention, the Nexus-6 android brain, human being’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. With backmatter by Ed Brubaker!
