Blade Runner #1 page 7 by Al Williamson

Blade Runner is my favorite movie. It has been for the past 30 or so years and it still holds up. I was just watching the original release on a plane a few hours ago although I prefer the non-narrated versions. Here is a page from the movie adaptation. It was printed in several formats including a 2 comic book limited series, a magazine size printing and a pocket book printing. There is so much I like about Blade Runner and this page is from a scene that takes place at the police headquarters. It features the origami by Gaff that is featured at various points in the movie and is important in answering the question if Deckard is an android or human and how that answer might change with the added dream sequence in the director's cut. In the movie Gaff makes an origami chicken in this scene and the unicorn which seems to be what is made on this page does't appear until the end of the movie and has become a symbol for the movie. Al Williamson's art was perfect for this series. It is difficult to know exactly who inked any particular page in this series as there were several inkers credited and others not-credited. Carlos Garzon is also credited as a penciller on some pages but I think this looks like Al. Inkers include Ralph Reese, Dan Green, Al Williamson and Carlos Garzon. It is likely Garzon did most of the inking on the first book and help was needed to get the second book out on time. I have had 2 other Blade Runner pages over the years but it has been about a decade since my last page. This page has extra meaning to me as it comes from the collection of a recently deceased friend and this page was gifted to him by Al Williamson with whom he was good friends with.
