Description: Vic and Blood Limited Edition Leather Bound Hardcover The Continuing Adventures of a Boy and his Dog Numbered out of 1000 and signed by Harlan Ellison & Richard Corben Writer: Harlan Ellison Artist: Richard Corben Inker: Richard Corben Colorist: Richard Corben Letterer: Diane Valentino Editor: Jan Strnad Cover by: Richard Corben Noted fantasy and science fiction writer Harlan Ellison and Richard Corben (the Den series) form an ideally matched team in this forceful adaptation of Ellison's novella A Boy and His Dog. Vic and his telepathic dog, Blood, struggle to endure in the aftermath of nuclear war. But when Blood sniffs out Quilla June--a girl who has come disguised as a boy to the womanless nuclear wasteland from an underground world (to which the population has fled from destruction)--Vic discovers love while Blood sees his own survival threatened. Quilla June's haunting question, "Do you know what love is?," envelops the ending in a poignant irony as Vic must choose to save the life of one--Quilla June or Blood--at the expense of the other. After a nuclear holocaust people live underground to survive, a dogs' got an ability to communicate with men by telepathy, females are a rare find and then there are the... Zombies. From the inside.... World War III lasted from 25 June 1950 when the Republic of Korea was invaded by 60,000 screaming North Korean troops spearheaded by something in excess of one hundred Russian-built tanks... to January 1993 when the Vatican Entente Cordiale was signed between the Eastern and Western blocs. World War III -- hot and cold -- lasted forty-three years though nobody seemed smart enough to realize it was all one continuing conflict, But as the New Year dawned in 1993 it was all over, peace and tranquility reigned, la-de-da. For two years and six months and three days. World War IV broke out on American Independence Day, 4 July 1995. World War IV lasted five days, until the few remaining missiles that had jammed in their release phase cleared the various silos beneath the Painted Desert and the Urals and the Gobi Altay, but by then there wasn't much of anything left to fight over. Five days. Then what was left belonged to anybody who wanted it, anybody with a taste for radiation and rubble. But it was a very different world the survivors claimed. The "good folks" sank their caisson cities, their sterile downunders, deep in the earth. And the snaggle-toothed remnants of the aboveground were abandoned to the new masters of desolation: vicious roverpaks of parentless young boys... and their telepathic dogs. From the History of the World, as Blood tells it. Collects: Vic and Blood (1987) Issues #1-2.
