Book description

The complete graphic story version of one of the most exciting science fiction novels of the 20th century! Over 180 pages of spectacular full color comics by Howard Chaykin! The Authorized adaptation of Alfred Bester's science fiction classic!

It is a novel so visually fantastic that it cried out for a graphic story adaptation. Howard Chaykin and Byron Preiss started it over a decade ago, but it was never published in its entirety. Now the wait is over, The Complete Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination is here.

It is the story of Gully Foyle - loner, common man, 3rd class mate on a shattered starship who becomes one of the most wanted men of the 25th century.

Filled with full color illustrations, it is an unforgettable space adventure and a searing study of a society facing the consequences of its technology and destructiveness.
