Philip José Farmer and Tim Boxell launched this single-issue comic from Last Gasp in 1973, adapting Farmer’s own novel into a starkly illustrated, apocalyptic vision. Boxell’s artwork brings the story’s gritty, unsettling future to life, while Farmer’s script explores themes of survival and societal collapse. Though brief, this release stands as a distinctive artifact of the underground comix era, blending literary science fiction with the raw, independent spirit of its publisher.
