This "graphic transcription" of Philip K. Dick should be perfect for fans of Blade Runner who have watched the movie 5 times yet have never read the book it's based on. If you think you know Blade Runner by heart therefore you don't need to read the book, think again. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is very very different from the movie. I actually read this book more times than I watched Blade Runner.

By the way, notice I used the word "transcription", it's because this is not a graphic adaptation. This is a word-for-word transcription of the novel with illustrations that are both beautiful and appropriate to the book's tone.

Note: this is Book 1, which collects issues #1 to #6. Check back for more later.


From The Village Voice:

“If you're a fan of Blade Runner but have never read the source material, this experimental adaptation should be just the ticket.”

“Village Voice is a fantastic publication that is always pointing readers towards new and exciting things,” said Marketing and Sales Director Chip Mosher. “This is high praise from a source of such smart readership. We're honored.”

Worldwide best-selling sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick's award-winning DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? has been called "a masterpiece ahead of its time, even today" and served as the basis for the film BLADE RUNNER. Last Summer BOOM! Studios in association with Electric Shepherd Productions debuted the first issue of 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, ground-breaking 24-issue maxi-series experiment!
