After their phenomenal success with the
Star Wars comics license, Marvel turned their attention to the most prominent sci-fi flick of the year before,
Logan's Run, and made a deal to adapt the MGM film. The adaptation showcased the dynamic talents of a young
George Perez, who would soon make a name for himself on
The Avengers, among other books, becoming one of the industry's top pencilers. As I recall,
Klaus Janson inked all (or most) of the five-issue movie adaptation, which was scripted by Marvel veteran
Gerry Conway and
David Anthony Kraft. The final two issues attempted to carry Logan and Jessica's adventures beyond the end of the movie, but writer
John Warner failed to capture readers' imaginations, which, combined with the low sales figures and high licensing fees, led to Marvel canceling the title. Aircel Comics published adaptations of the original
William F. Nolan-George Clayton Johnson Logan's Run novels in the 80s, and Bluewater Comics recently published a
Logan series of their own.
