Perry #93 is a classic science fiction comic from Moewig, based on the successful Perry Rhodan pulp novel series. 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 pulp novel source material to the comic medium. The series carried the breezy, trust-inspiring subtitle Our Man in Space and soon developed into a garish and colourful pop-art comic that appealed more to young adults than children. The artistic direction was handled by the Italian graphic studio Giolitti, and the majority of the drawings were simple copies from a wide range of American comic books of the time. Panels from Marvel Comics in particular were shamelessly copied, above all those of John Buscema, whose drawings repeatedly served as reference material. Nonetheless, the series Perry has its own very special charm, not least because it is a typical product of its era and, as such, still comes across today as lovingly nostalgic. Most of the cover art was created by Moewig's in-house artist Johnny Bruck (1921-1995), who also defined the visual style of the source material, the Perry Rhodan pulp novel series. For sales-strategy reasons, it was apparently important to the publisher to maintain at least a visual unity across the newsstands.
