Yesterday I saw that Citizen of the Galaxy has been made into a comic book and showed him the three issues. He said it was one of the few times that there was a faithful adaptation to his books. He also caught the little easter egg at the begininng.

It is distributedy by IDW I thoroughly reccommend it to anyone who can get a copy.
