Trekker is a retrofuturistic, science fiction comic book series written and illustrated by American artist Ron Randall.
The series follows the turbulent escapades of Mercy St. Clair, a bounty hunter or "Trekker" making her way through the violent streets of New Gelaph in the year 2226.
The majority of the Trekker stories are written and illustrated by Randall with lettering by Ken Bruzenak and colors (where applicable) by Jeremy Colwell.
[2] "City of the Dead", Randall's crossover story with Karl Kesel for Thrillbent, featured colors by Jeremy Colwell and Grace Allison.
As her world expands, she becomes aware of the forces that shape her role in the greater playing field of interstellar human society.
He assists her with some crucial research in "The Trail to Scarmen's Burn" (Trekker #2, July 1987), but his motives seem more rooted in romantic attraction than scholarly altruism.
Mercy dismisses their efforts quixotic, their methods naive and Bolt a hopeless idealist, yet he keeps reappearing in her life and adventures.
Reviewer Lauren Davis calls it "a fun and smartly written pulp" and praises Randall's take on a hardbitten character who remains flawed enough to draw us into her world with a sense of empathy.
