Perry #96 is a classic science fiction comic from Moewig publishing house, based on the successful novella series Perry Rhodan. The comic is in very 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 carried the casual and reassuring subtitle Our Man in Space and soon developed into a flashy, colourful pop art comic that appealed more to young adults than children. The artwork was handled by the Italian studio Giolitti, and the majority of the drawings were simple copies from a wide range of American comic books of that era. Panels from Marvel Comics in particular were shamelessly copied, and above all it was John Buscema whose drawings repeatedly served as templates. Nevertheless, the series Perry has its own very special charm, mainly because it is a typical product of its era and, as such, still comes across as lovingly nostalgic today. Most of the covers were 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. For sales strategy reasons, it was apparently important to the publisher to maintain at least a visual unity on the newsstands.
