Dallas Barr is a Belgian science fiction comic book series. Based on Joe Haldeman's novel Buying Time, it is the second collaboration between Marvano and Haldeman, after their acclaimed adaptation of The Forever War.Comprising seven albums, it spans about 20 years in the second half of the 21st century. The albums focus on the titular Dallas Barr, the second oldest man in the world and oldest friend of the oldest, Dr. Julius Stileman. Decades ago, Stileman perfected immortality and became the most powerful man on Earth by selling it in slices of 10 years. His asking price is everything you own, with a minimum of £1 million. In other words: your money or your life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This has resulted in a world without super-rich bastards (well, except the one, of course), because the bright and ambitious no longer have much reason to ever accumulate more than a million.Dallas is a minor celebrity, the prototype of a class of immortals who practice the art of earning a million pounds quickly, and then spend the rest of their 10 years enjoying life to the fullest. But this world can continue to exist only as long as Stileman retains his monopoly, and cracks are starting to form. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Dallas Barr (Comic Book) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Marvano often copies existing designs, especially in the early albums. So while it's the late 21st century, the United States military fields planes that are just the most advanced looking among modern planes, and a large lunar colony still uses the exact same spacesuits that astronauts use now. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Dallas Barr (Comic Book) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Those Swiss guard commandos protecting The Pope look pretty formidable, but you have to wonder about the camouflage implications of still wearing yellow-blue striped fabric under their futuristic armor, not to mention the huge red feathers on top of their Cool Helmet. | |

The Aggressive Drug Dealer | |
| Dallas Barr (Comic Book) / int_566a3389 | comment |
The Aggressive Drug Dealer: though they have an excuse; a sheroine addiction is so expensive to maintain that their potential market is tiny, and the only person they deem well-connected and well-trusted enough to introduce it would never work for them voluntarily. | |
