Special hardcover limited edition of the graphic novel adaptation
of Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination. This production is one
of the first sophisticated "full color" American graphic novels
first published in 1979. #5 in the Millennium SF Masterworks
series, a library of the finest science fiction ever written.
"Science fiction has only produced a few works of actual genius,
and this is one of them"-Joe Haldeman "Bester at the peak of his
powers is, quite simply, unbeatable" -James Lovegrove Marooned in
outer space after an attack on his ship, Nomad, Gulliver Foyle
lives to obsessively pursue the crew of a rescue vessel that had
intended to leave him to die. When it comes to pop culture, Alfred
Bester (1913-1987) is something of an unsung hero. He wrote radio
scripts, screenplays, and comic books (in which capacity he created
the original Green Lantern Oath). But Bester is best known for his
science-fiction novels, and The Stars My Destination may be his
finest creation. With its sly potshotting at corporate
skullduggery, The Stars My Destination seems utterly contemporary,
and has maintained its status as an underground classic for fifty
years. (Bester fans should also note that iPicturebooks has
reprinted The Demolished Man, which won the very first Hugo Award
in 1953.) Alfred Bester was among the first important authors of
contemporary science fiction. His passionate novels of worldly
adventure, high intellect, and tremendous verve, The Stars My
Destination and the Hugo Award winning The Demolished Man,
established Bester as a s.f. grandmaster, a reputation that was
ratified by the Science Fiction Writers of America shortly before
his death. Bester also was an acclaimed journalist for Holiday
magazine, a reviewer for the Magazine of Fantasy and Science
Fiction and even a writer for Superman.
