Written by Bruce Jones and April Campbell with painted art by Scott Hampton, it's a science fiction graphic novel set against an interplanetary invasion — Earth's authoritarian dictators have made a deal with the conquerors, and the only thing standing between humanity and total subjugation is a scattered resistance that nobody believes in yet. Hampton's painted illustration style gives it a visual weight that most comics of the era couldn't touch, and the Scott Hampton cover — a lone figure braced against an alien sky — is one of the more striking pieces of 80s graphic novel cover art you'll find. First printing July 1987. Eclipse Books, Forestville, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📖 \u003cem\u003eSilverheels\u003c\/em\u003e — Bruce Jones \u0026amp; April Campbell \/ Scott Hampton | Eclipse Books 1987 trade paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🎨 Full-color painted interior art throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🏷️ Story: Bruce Jones (Bruce Jones Associates) \u0026amp; April Campbell \/ Art: Scott Hampton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📅 First printing: July 1987 \/ Publisher: Eclipse Books, Forestville, CA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔢 ISBN: 0-913035-22-X (trade paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📘 Format: Trade paperback — collected edition of the 3-issue Pacific Comics series (1983–1984)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💰 Original retail price: $7.95 US\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌍 Story: Interplanetary invasion \/ Earth resistance \/ authoritarian collaboration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Collectors Love It:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEclipse Books was one of the defining publishers of the 1980s independent comics boom, and \u003cem\u003eSilverheels\u003c\/em\u003e is a prime example of what made that era special — painted art, mature storytelling, and a willingness to go places the Big Two wouldn't touch. Scott Hampton's work here predates his later high-profile projects and shows the same painterly craft that would make him one of the most distinctive artists in comics. The Pacific Comics original issues are genuinely hard to find; the Eclipse collected edition is the accessible version, and a first printing copy is the one to have. A strong pickup for 80s independent comics collectors, Scott Hampton fans, and anyone who appreciates when science fiction graphic novels actually had something to say.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed, vintage condition — shows normal wear consistent with its age.
