Perry #91 is a classic science fiction comic from Moewig publishing house, based on the successful novella series Perry Rhodan. The comic is in good 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 source material into the comic medium. The series had the casual and reassuring subtitle Our Man in Space and soon developed into a garish and colourful pop art comic that appealed to young adults more than children. The artwork was produced by the Italian graphic studio Giolitti, and most of the drawings were simple copies from a wide variety of American comic books of that era. Panels from Marvel Comics in particular were shamelessly copied, above all those of John Buscema, whose drawings were repeatedly used as templates. Nonetheless, the series Perry has its own very special charm, mainly because it is a typical product of its time and still comes across today as lovingly nostalgic. Most of the cover artwork was created by Moewig's in-house artist Johnny Bruck (1921-1995), who also shaped the visual style of the source material – the novella series Perry Rhodan. It was apparently important to the publisher, for sales-strategy reasons, to maintain at least a visual unity on the newsstands.
