Blade Runner – Marvel Comics – (1982) – Volume 1 – Limited Series - #1–2

📘 Series Summary

The neon-soaked, rain-slicked world of Ridley Scott’s masterpiece comes to the four-color page in Blade Runner Volume 1. Published by Marvel Comics in 1982 to coincide with the film's theatrical release, this 2-issue limited series provides the official comic adaptation of the cyberpunk classic. Adapted by the legendary Archie Goodwin and featuring stunning, atmospheric art by Al Williamson and Carlos Garzon, the series captures the film's "tech-noir" aesthetic with incredible fidelity.

Set in a dystopian 2019 Los Angeles, the story follows Rick Deckard, a retired "Blade Runner" forced back into duty to hunt down and "retire" four escaped Nexus-6 replicants. As Deckard tracks the fugitives through the urban sprawl, the narrative explores the philosophical questions of humanity, memory, and morality that made the film a cult phenomenon. This adaptation is widely regarded by collectors as one of the best movie-to-comic translations of the Bronze Age, thanks to Al Williamson's masterful ability to render the likenesses of Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer while maintaining his own signature illustrative style.
