"Run For The Stars" by Ellison, 18 pages, in EPIC ILLUSTRATED 11, April 1982.As adapted and painted by Ken Steacy,
I understand Ellison was exceptionally pleased with this adaptation by Steacy. And he was very vocal about any adaptations he was
not pleased with. This was one of 3 stories of Ellison's "Earth/Kyben war" series adapted by Steacy in EPIC ILLUSTRATED.
The others were:
"Sleeping Dogs" in EPIC ILLUSTRATED 4,
and
"Life Hutch" in EPIC ILLUSTRATED 6.
All the Steacy adaptations, with some bridging new material, were collected in the graphic novel NIGHT AND THE ENEMY in 1987.
One additional Earth/Kyben story was adapted by Marshall Rogers, in
SCIENCE FICTION GRAPHIC NOVEL issue 5 version of DEMON WITH A GLASS HAND in 1985.
It has some subtle differences from the
Outer Limits"Demon With A Glass Hand" TV episode, going more to Ellison's original script to eliminate changes made by network censors in the televised version in 1964.
There are other Ellison Earth/Kyben stories that remain unadapted. My favorite being "The Crackpots" in Ellison's 1967 short story collection,
Paingod.
