Buried Treasure - Trekker

Here's another piece of obscurity from my collection of over 7000 comics. (I love saying that.) Trekker was created , written and drawn by Ron Randall and first appeared in Dark Horse Presents #4 (1986.) It was the story of Mercy St. Clair, a licensed bounty hunter or "trekker" set in a future world of space travel and decaying civilization.

After two more appearances in DHP, Trekker got it's own series in 1987. It lasted all of six issues. DHP and the Trekker series were all in black and white. In 1989 Trekker returned in the Trekker Color Special and then wasn't seen again until 1999 when an attempt was made to revive the series as part of the Odyssey imprint of Image comics. The Image series, also in color, consisted of one single issue.

That's a total of 11 appearances. There was also the Trekker Collection trade paperback which included the DHP stories and the first three issues of the regular series. As far as I know it had no original material.

This is a sadly small amount for what was one of the finest books to come out of the 80's B+W explosion. Mercy St. Clair was beautiful, tough, and quite frankly had the finest ass in all of comics. I don't know why she didn't catch on. Maybe she was just ahead of her time.

I will now repeat the name Ron Randall several times in the hope that the next time he googles himself (You know you will Ron. Everybody does.) this page will pop up and he will hear my plea to BRING BACK TREKKER!!
