Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep Omnibus Releases In Less Than A Month
BOOM! Studios are teaming up with Electric Shepherd Productions to collect the entire 24-issue Eisner Award-nominated comic adaptation of Philip K. Dick's groundbreaking science-fiction novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? into a complete softcover omnibus for the first time. The comic series, as realized by artist Tony Parker, was published by BOOM! Studios from 2009-2011. The new collection features a new cover by Mondo artist Jay Shaw (Big Trouble in Little China) and essays from popular industry professionals, including Ed Brubaker, Warren Ellis, and Matt Fraction.
The story takes place in San Francisco, which is lying under a cloud of radioactive dust. The World War has killed millions, driving entire species to extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remain covet any living creature, and for people who can't afford one, companies build incredibly realistic fakes: horses, birds, cats, sheep, and humans too. Main character, Rick Deckard is a bounty hunter who must seek out six rogue androids, but that's not so simple when they look just like humans.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep will release November 25th.
