Perry #87 is a classic science fiction comic from Moewig publishing, 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 im Bild (1967–1968), the second attempt to bring the famous pulp novel source material into comic form. The series carried the breezy, reassuring subtitle Our Man in Space and soon developed into a loud, colourful pop-art comic that appealed more to young adults than to children. The artwork was produced by the Italian studio Giolitti, and the majority of the drawings were simple copies from a wide variety of American comic books of the era. Panels from Marvel Comics in particular were shamelessly copied, above all those of John Buscema, whose drawings repeatedly served as templates. Nevertheless, the Perry series has its own particular charm, not least because it is such a typical product of its time and, as such, still comes across as lovingly nostalgic today. Most of the covers were designed by Moewig's in-house artist Johnny Bruck (1921–1995), who also shaped the visual style of the source material - the pulp novel series Perry Rhodan. For sales strategy reasons, the publisher evidently wanted to maintain at least a visual unity on the magazine racks.
