Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 41 de John Wagner

Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 41: Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files

Autor John Wagner, Alan Grant, Simon Spurrier De (artist) Carlos Ezquerra, Cam Kennedy, Kev Walker, Dave Taylor, Pj Holden, Karl Richardson, Boo Cook, Phil Winslade, Andrew Currie
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 feb 2023

Stilul narativ al lui John Wagner rămâne coloana vertebrală a universului 2000 AD, definind un amestec unic de satiră socială tăioasă, cinism și acțiune viscerală. În Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 41, proza sa este mai percutantă ca niciodată, menținând echilibrul fragil între autoritatea absolută a Legii și absurdul existenței în Mega-City One. Considerăm că acest volum reprezintă un punct de maturitate al seriei, unde poveștile pendulează între umorul negru specific artistului scoțian Kenny Who și tensiunea pură a vânătorii criminalului în serie PJ Maybe.

Vizual, acest volum este un festin pentru colecționari. Recomandăm atenția asupra contrastelor stilistice: de la liniile brutale și iconice ale lui Carlos Ezquerra, co-creatorul vizual al lui Dredd, până la estetica detaliată a lui Kev Walker sau dinamismul lui Cam Kennedy. Fiecare capitol beneficiază de o identitate vizuală proprie, reflectând haosul ordonat al metropolei. Față de volumele anterioare, precum Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 35 sau Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 32, această ediție consolidează arcurile narative ale unor antagoniști legendari, oferind o perspectivă mai profundă asupra veteranilor de război transformați în mașinării de ucis, precum Nate Slaughterhouse.

Structura de tip antologie permite o lectură cu ritm alert, unde autoritatea implacabilă a lui Dredd este testată nu doar prin forță, ci și prin birocrație și artă. Este o experiență de lectură densă, în limba engleză, care păstrează spiritul rebel al revistei britanice originale.

Despre autor

John Wagner (n. 1949) este o figură legendară a benzii desenate britanice, fiind mintea creativă din spatele personajului Judge Dredd. Cariera sa spectaculoasă a revitalizat industria în anii '70, prin lansarea unor publicații iconice precum Battle și 2000 AD. Wagner este cunoscut pentru capacitatea sa de a scrie scenarii complexe care au fost adaptate cu succes pe marele ecran, cea mai notabilă fiind colaborarea cu David Cronenberg pentru ecranizarea romanului grafic A History of Violence. Alături de Alan Grant, a definit tonul modern al lui Batman și a creat universuri memorabile precum Strontium Dog. Continuă să fie vocea autoritară a seriei Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files.

Descriere scurtă

In Mega-City One the Judges are a hardened police force acting as judge, jury and executioner. Toughest of them all is Judge Dredd. He is the Law, and these are his stories.

This latest collection of Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files sees Dredd continue to track down the murderous PJ Maybe, take the Scottish artist Kenny Who to court, and stop the angry war veteran-turned-Mandroid Nate Slaughterhouse.

Written by John Wagner (A History of Violence) and drawn by a host of acclaimed artists including Kev Walker (The Eternals), Cam Kennedy (Star Wars), and Carlos Ezquerra (Preacher), this is Judge Dredd at his pulse-pounding best!

Notă biografică

John Wagner has been scripting for 2000 AD for more years than he cares to remember. His creations include Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Ace Trucking, Al’s Baby, Button Man and Mean Machine. Outside of 2000 AD his credits include Star Wars, Lobo, The Punisher and the critically acclaimed A History of Violence.

With over 300 2000 AD stories to his name – not to mention over 250 Daily Star Judge Dredd strips – Alan Grant’s prolific creative record speaks for itself. Outside the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, Grant is well-known to Batman fans following a lengthy run on various incarnations of the title. More recently he has adapted Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novels Kidnapped and Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde in Graphic Novel format with artist Cam Kennedy.

Simon Spurrier writes novels and comics. His work in the latter field stretches from award winning creator-owned books such as Numbercruncher, Six-Gun Gorilla and The Spire to projects in the U.S. mainstream like Hellblazer, The Dreaming, and X-Men. It all began with a series of twist-in-the-tail stories for the UK's beloved 2000AD, which ignited an enduring love for genre fiction. His latest book, Coda, is being published by Boom! Studios at present. His prose works range from the beatnik neurosis-noir of Contract to the occult whodunnit A Serpent Uncoiled via various franchise and genre-transgressing titles. In 2016 he took a foray into experimental fiction with the e-novella Unusual Concentrations: a tale of coffee, crime and overhead conversations. He lives in Margate, regards sushi as part of the plotting process, and has the fluffiest of cats.

Carlos Ezquerra was the co-creator of Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Rat Pack, Major Eazy and many other fan favourite characters, he designed the classic original Dredd costume as well as visually conceptualising Mega-City One. In addition to these credits he also illustrated A.B.C. Warriors, Judge Anderson, Tharg the Mighty, and Cursed Earth Koburn amongst many other stories. Outside of the ‘Galaxy’s Greatest Comic’, Ezquerra illustrated the first Third World War episodes in Crisis magazine, and become a regular collaborator with Garth Ennis, working on Adventures in the Rifle Brigade, Bloody Mary, Just a Pilgrim, Condors, The Magnificent Kevin and two special Preacher episodes. He died in 2018 but his profound influence on the world of comic art cannot be overstated.

Cam Kennedy is a hugely popular 2000 AD artist, having illustrated many Judge Dredd strips and co-created luckless wannabe creator Kenny Who? and the Taxidermist. A key early Rogue Trooper artist, he has also drawn Batman/Judge Dredd: Vendetta in Gotham, Judge Dredd, Tharg the Mighty, Tharg’s Future Shocks, and The V.C.’s. His extracurricular work includes Axel Pressbutton, Batman, Lobo, Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Star Wars.

Kev Walker is the co-creator of Badlands and The Balls Brothers, and has also provided artwork for Dan Dare, Judge Dredd, Future Shocks, Harlem Heroes, Mercy Heights, Rogue Trooper, Time Twisters and Tor Cyan. For the Judge Dredd Megazine, he wrote The Inspectre and has illustrated Judge Anderson, Mean Machine and Wynter. Walker has recently finished an acclaimed run on DC’s L.E.G.I.O.N. and has pencilled Marvel Comics’ The Eternal.

Dave Taylor began drawing comics professionally for Marvel UK after many failed attempts at being a rock star drummer. He was head hunted by DC to work on a Batman one shot with Grendel writer/artist Matt Wagner, going on to work predominantly on Batman titles such as Batman: Shadow of the Bat (with Alan Grant), Detective Comics, Batman: Black and White and others. His collaboration with graphic designer extraordinaire Chip Kidd on Batman: Death by Design became a New York Times best seller (twice). Taylor's acclaimed adult only series Tongue Lash grew from his friendship with French comic Master Jean Moebius Giraud, who Taylor also worked with on an Arzak story. He has also produced work for TV, movies and the games industry and is presently employed by the United States Space Force as an extraterrestrial translator.

Paul J. Holden has illustrated The 86ers, Judge Dredd, Tharg’s Future Shocks, Rogue Trooper and Johnny Woo for 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine. P.J. lives and works in Belfast, and is married with two children.

Boo Cook’s 2000 AD debut came some years before he was to provide pencils for the comic proper – as a young man, he sent a fan sketch in to the letters page! Thankfully he continued to hone his art, working on a number of Future Shocks before landing a guest spot on the fan-favourite A.B.C. Warriors series. Cook’s facility with huge crowd scenes and alien designs has quickly established him as a talent to watch, and with three co-created series — Asylum, Dead Men Walking, Harry Kipling (Deceased) — under his belt, he is one of the Galaxy’s Greatest’s brightest hopes for the future.

Phil Winslade is a veteran of the industry. As well as his work for 2000 AD, his considerable talents as an artist have graced the pages of a variety of comics for DC, Vertigo and Marvel, including Batman, Daredevil, Goddess, Spider-Man and the legendary Steve Gerber’s Howard the Duck and Nevada. As well as being the co-creator of Lawless, his work with the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic includes a story for Tharg’s Terror Tales, several Judge Dredd strips including a one-off Judge Dredd for Free Comic Book Day 2017.

Andrew Currie made his 2000 AD debut with Judge Dredd, following success in America with series like Ninjak and Seeker 3000. He has also worked on Sinister Dexter, The Inspectre and Bato Loco.
