About
The two-issue black-&-white series Vic and Blood adapts the three “Vic and Blood” stories (“Eggsucker,” “A Boy And His Dog,” and “Run, Spot, Run”) that Harlan Ellison had written at the time. These three stories are three parts of a novel Ellison has said he would write about Vic and Blood (Blood’s A Rover). “A Boy And His Dog” adapted into the film A Boy And His Dog (1975) directed by L.Q. Jones and starring Don Johnson.
“A Boy And His Dog” is continued in Vic And Blood #2. Both issues of the series were reprinted in color in the NBM volume Vic and Blood (1989) and the iBooks collection Vic And Blood: The Continuing Adventures of A Boy and His Dog (2003).
