STORM: De Genesis-Formule

Signed & Limited, #243 of 750. This story line was originally conceived as a framework for stories in the "Deep World" revolving around the character Commander Grek. An episode in which Commander Grek turns into a fish man was written in 1976 by Vince Wernham and drawn by Don Lawrence, but it was not picked up by Dutch publisher Oberon. The story was later reworked by Philip "Saul" Dunn, now with the astronaut Storm as the main character. This version was published by Oberon, serialized in the comics magazine EPPO in 1977. In 1984, with the Storm series established as a success, the previously unreleased Commander Grek album was published as "Episode 0" of the series. This album includes background information regarding the inception of Commander Grek and Storm. Storm originated in Dutch, although all the books are translated into English and German, and some in at least twelve other languages. Condition: Very Fine. Tiny bump to bottom front board.
