Roger Wilco #1

Roger Wilco (February 1992) #1 is based on the thrilling "Space Quest" computer games from Sierra Online or so the cover claims. I have never played any of the games and I really do not want to after reading this issue. Humor and science fiction are mixed in a not too subtle way. I do like the cover and interior art by John Shaw, who was also the writer, but not enough to get any more issues in the series.

"Space Quest" was one of the old Sierra games and similar to that company's "King's Quest" and "Police Quest." Each of those titles had many sequels, if memory serves. Not bad for 1980s PC games, actually, though by '92 they were certainly on the way out. I was unaware that they had produced a comic promoting "Space Quest."
