Perry #94 is a classic science fiction comic from the Moewig publishing house, based on the successful Perry Rhodan pulp novel series. The comic is in good 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 the comic medium. The series had the breezy and reassuring subtitle Unser Mann im All (Our Man in Space) and soon developed into a garish and colourful pop-art comic that appealed more to young adults than to children. The artistic design was handled by the Italian art studio Giolitti, and the majority of the artwork consisted of straightforward 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. Nevertheless, the series Perry has its own very particular charm, not least because it is such a typical product of its era and, as such, still comes across as fondly nostalgic today. Most of the covers were designed 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 strategic sales reasons, the publisher clearly wanted to maintain at least a visual unity on the magazine racks.
