Bill, the Galactic Hero

Byron Preiss and Topps brought Harry Harrison’s satirical sci-fi novel to comics in 1994, with a three-issue series following the hapless, eternally drafted Bill on his absurd adventures through a bureaucratically nightmarish space empire. The series captures the original’s dark humor and anti-war bite, with creators like writer John Byrne and artist John Severin lending their talents to this short but pointed adaptation. It remains a cult curiosity for fans of Harrison’s work and Byrne’s more offbeat projects.
