Beneath a Steel Sky

I've read that the boxed copy of this game came with a comic book - does anyone know what this comic looks like? How long is it? Is it enough to justify trying to get a boxed copy of the game?

That's really bad box art - the grey on black of the other design is so much nicer :S.

As for the comic book, I think it was only part of the CD version introduction, rather than being separately printed. At least, my disc version of the game didn't come with it :S...

:edit: I lie, that box art lists a comic book on the back as something included. So some versions of the game came with a comic book...

The original floppy disc version came with a printed comic. When we did the CD version we incorporated the comic into the intro and Virgin decided not to include the printed version with the game.

I had totally forgotten that I have that comic in BaSS floppy disc version box.

Very nice looking comic book, even though it has only few pages.

Look here , to find the comic book, and a comparison between the comic book and the Intro.
