Prequel to Philip K. Dick’s Electric Sheep Hits iPad

Nearly three decades after Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? sparked Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner movie, the novel has inspired a comic book prequel that explores Earth’s first wave of droid hunters.

Titled Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Dust to Dust, the $4 comic book by I Zombie writer Chris Roberson and 48 Stron artist Robert Adler lands May 26.

To get a free sneak peek at the story, fans can eyeball an eight-page digital preview on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. The Dust to Dust app, devised by comiXology and Boom Studios, includes a retail locator bundled with a preorder feature for those who want to purchase physical copies.
