Dick Stories!

The world of sci-fi author Philip K Dick lives on… even though he doesn’t

You probably thought that just because legendary sci-fi author Philip K Dick has been dead for 28 years we’d never get to read any more of his stories. WRONG!

What an extremely un-sci-fi assumption to make. Tomorrow the world will be able to pick up issue No. 1 of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Dust to Dust, a four-issue comic miniseries that acts as a prequel to Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? For any nerd who didn’t know, that’s the novel that spawned the movie Blade Runner. The comic book prequel follows an android tracker immediately after the apocalyptic World War Terminus, which decimated animal life on Earth. It’s been approved by the Dick estate and is written by Chris Roberson, who previously penned Vertigo’s I, Zombie.

A preview of the comic has been unleashed onto iTunes, and the free App will even direct you to the nearest place where you can buy the comic. How very sci-fi.
