Perry #86 is a classic science fiction comic from the Moewig publishing house, based on the successful novella series Perry Rhodan. The comic is in good used condition.

The comic series Perry was published by Moewig between 1968 and 1975, running for a total of 129 issues. This science fiction comic was the publisher's comic adaptation and, after Perry Rhodan im Bild (1967-1968), the second attempt to bring the famous novella series into the comic medium. The series carried the breezy and reassuring subtitle Unser Mann im All (Our Man in Space) and soon developed into a garish, colourful pop-art comic that appealed more to young adults than to children. The artwork was produced by the Italian graphic studio Giolitti, and the majority of the drawings were plain copies from a wide variety of American comic books of the period. Panels from Marvel Comics in particular were shamelessly copied, above all by John Buscema, whose drawings were repeatedly used as templates. Nevertheless, the Perry series has its own very special charm, especially because it is a typical product of its time and, as such, still comes across today with an affectionate sense of nostalgia. Most of the cover artwork was created by Moewig's in-house artist Johnny Bruck (1921-1995), who also visually shaped the source material - the novella series Perry Rhodan. For sales-strategy reasons, it was apparently important to the publisher to maintain at least a visual consistency on the newsstands.
