Perry #99 is a classic science fiction comic from the Moewig publishing house, based on the successful pulp novel series Perry Rhodan. The comic is in good condition.

The comic series Perry was published by Moewig between 1968 and 1975, totalling 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 carried the breezy and reassuring subtitle Our Man in Space and soon developed into a flashy, colourful pop art comic that appealed more to young adults than to children. The artistic design was handled by the Italian graphic studio Giolitti, and most of the drawings were simple copies taken 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 were used again and again as templates. Nevertheless, the series Perry has its own very special charm, above all because it is a typical product of its time and, as such, 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 defined the visual look of the source material, the pulp novel series Perry Rhodan. For strategic sales reasons, the publisher was apparently keen to maintain at least a visual unity on the magazine racks.
