Wonderful pulpy world building with beautiful art.
A thoroughly fun 1980s indie comic I'd never heard of until Dark Horse's omnibus came out. "Space Bounty Hunters" are a lot more common today than they were back then, and strong, fully-clothed female protagonists are still more of a rarity in comics than they should be. Kudos to Dark Horse for not letting this little gem vanish into obscurity.
I was a fan of Ron Randall's Trekker when it debuted in the pages of Dark Horse Comics Presents WAY back in the 1980's. The book even ran for six issues of it's own title before going back into DHCP. Trekker tells the ongoing story of Mercy St. Claire who is a Trekker (or bounty hunter) who operates in the city of New Gelaph on Earth in the year 2226. Beautiful artwork and great stories.Anyway, I kickstarted his latest graphic novel and wanted to catch up on what I had missed over the years. The...
Like binge-watching a TV show but better!
After reading this book, I am very puzzled at the checkered publishing history of Trekker. This should have been an ongoing, moderately successful title, but this small volume seems to be the whole thing, from the 1980s until 2013, which is really too bad.Mercy St. Clair is a Trekker, a licensed bounty hunter in a future which has the tendency toward too much crime for the police to handle. In theory, Trekkers only hunt down criminals, but often in these stories Mercy gets involved with the poli...
Action packed and interesting. i enjoyed Mercy's development through the series. The art is great, engaging but not distracting. A must read for anyone who likes sci-fi.
DNF at 50% because I can't get past the black and white drawings, and the story just doesn't have enough pull for me
I never heard of Trekker until I stumbled across this Omnibus edition. This tome contains all the stories, plus artwork of bounty hunter Mercy St. Clair, as she fights not only criminals on the lamb, but the corrupt police and politicians running New Galeph. These tales aren't all about blasting bad guys. Mercy is a troubled woman, riddled with as much doubt as her body gets riddled with bullets, while seeking to find a balance between her rough profession and her softer personal life. There's a...
A collection of what was then (2013) the complete Trekker series, this omnibus reminds me a bit of early Hellboy, in that the author/artist incubates the character through a series of short stories and vignettes, until she's 'ready for prime time.' Maybe that was the nature of the old 'Dark Horse Presents' days. Whatever the case, Ron Randall has created a cool character and put her through some cool and harrowing adventures in a (and I mean this in a good way) generic Science Fiction setting. H...
A great example of late '80s independent adventure comics that belongs on the same shelf with the likes of Nexus or Jon Sable. Ron Randall is a criminally underrated storyteller.
I probably would've rated this higher if I'd read the series when it was first published, but now, this story of a futuristic female bounty hunter feels dated. What once must have seemed daring and fresh, now has a lot of competition. Mercy St. Clair (her name brought to mind Modesty Blaise) is determined and committed to her chosen profession, but has a soft heart, considered a flaw for someone in her line of work, but it gives her a rounded personality, which is good considering how much of th...
