The Story Behind Homeworld Press & Volume 33: Child of Earth
For over two decades after Volume 32 (The Return), devoted readers around the world wondered if Earl Dumarest would ever reach his legendary homeworld of Terra—and survive the relentless pursuit of the cybernetic Cyclan.
In 2008, Homeworld Press (River Forest, Illinois) worked directly with Edwin Charles Tubb (1919–2010) to publish the First American Edition of Volume 33: Child of Earth in a numbered 1,000-copy trade paperback collector’s edition ($14.95 original cover price), featuring a wrap-around painting by renowned pulp and sci-fi illustrator Doug Klauba and a comprehensive series retrospective by Chris Bentley.
