Bill & Ted's Excellent Comic Book was a twelve-issue comic book series published in 1991 and based on the Bill & Ted franchise.
Contents |
The first two issues revolve around the efforts of Bill and Ted as they plan a party to celebrate their recent nuptials. Unfortunately the personification of mortality, Death, a more recent ally, becomes vastly out of sorts and steals the phone-booth time machine. Rufus, their old guide, helps by directing them to a prototype for the phone booth/time machine. Bill and Ted must take the device and find Death before he causes too much damage to the time stream. The two also must deal with jealous rivals, who do not accept that Bill and Ted's wives had freely chosen to marry.
It was written and illustrated by Evan Dorkin. The story continued from the end of the second film, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey which Dorkin had also adapted for Marvel Comics.
In 2005, Slave Labor Graphics reprinted the series in two trade paperbacks. While the reprints did include the Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey adaptation, it did not include the eighth issue of the regular series due to the fact that Dorkin did write or illustrate the issue.
