Perry #85 is a classic science fiction comic from the Moewig publishing house, based on the successful pulp novel series Perry Rhodan. The comic is in a good used condition.

The comic series Perry was published by Moewig between 1968 and 1975, running to a total of 129 issues. This science fiction comic was the publisher's comic adaptation and, after Perry Rhodan in Pictures (1967-1968), the second attempt to bring the famous pulp novel source material into the comic medium. The series had the casual, confidence-inspiring subtitle Our Man in Space and soon developed into a flashy, colourful pop art comic that appealed more to young adults than to children. The artistic direction was handled by the Italian graphic studio Giolitti, and most of the artwork consisted of simple copies from a wide variety of American comic books of the time. Panels from Marvel Comics in particular were shamelessly copied, and above all it was John Buscema whose drawings repeatedly served as source material. Nevertheless, the series Perry has its own very special charm, above all because it is a typical product of its era and, as such, still comes across today with a lovingly nostalgic feel. Most of the covers were created by Moewig's in-house artist Johnny Bruck (1921-1995), who also visually defined the source material - the pulp novel series Perry Rhodan. For sales strategy reasons, the publisher apparently found it important to maintain at least a visual unity on the newsstands.
