PREVIEW: VIC BOONE #1 is one Fly Phillip K. Dick

Vic Boone was once a motorcycle daredevil. But these days he's just sort of a dick. Of the private variety. Of the Phillip K. variety. Of the arrogant S.O.B. variety. He rubs elbows with the lowest of lowlifes in a vibrant future-world overrun by intergalactic wastoids, bumming info off sentient house flies, making all the wrong kinds of choices.

This is what life is like in a Sin City of the Mos Eisley flavor, where raygun toting robots tussle on the checkered floors of cheap diners, and and dead bodies turn up in any corner that will have them. This is the world of Vic Boone, a new series from 215Ink, writer Shawn Aldridge and artist Geoffo. 

The first issue debuts in print this June, but you can also grab it on Graphicly right this second. 

Here's a quick preview of issue #1:

 

 

 

And the special origin issue, originally a Stumptown Comic Con exclusive. Learn how Vic got that white streak in his hair.

  1. You put Phillip K. Dick in the title and you got me intrigued.

  2. Seriously….. I’m a massive Dick fan (ahem) and I don’t see any reason why he was mentioned here.

  3. Avatar photo Paul Montgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    The SF themes are more evident as the story progresses. 

  4. This is one of the few single issues I have preordered out of April Previews. Looks real good and liked the Stumptown prelude a lot.

  5. Looks like it’ll be right up my alley, so I added it to my DCBS. Thanks Paul

  6. This looks intriguing, i’ll check it out. Im also a huge K. Dick fan though and I’m not seeing any reason for him to be mentioned here. The title of the article kinda makes it seem like its a story by him or based on his work.Oh well, still looks cool. Thanks for the recommendation

  7. just because it’s sci-fi with a P.I. doesn’t mean its Phillip K. Dick or of his Bladerunner. There is much more to Dick than a one-dimensional sci-fi pulp. He deserves better, wait… he has better, he has his own books turned graphic novels, why are we relating works to him that have nothing to do with him?
