Ernie Colon's To Sleep, Perchance To... Die!




A nice little John Carteresque Sword & Planet piece now from Ernie Colon, from  Marvel Super Special #10, and seemingly starring Gil Kane's Savage as the sword-swinging hero Jeremy Bolld.
There's no real surprises here, but I could read Ironjaw if Colon was doing it.
Besides, I'm intrigued by this one. Both art, and particularly, story feel a bit cramped, as if the allotted page count was reduced between script and publication stage.
Was Bolld supposed to get his own book, then somebody changed their mind?

Blade Runner: The Official Comics Adaptation



We're back after the Christmas break! And this would seem an appropriate way to open proceedings this year, what with this classic movie actually being set in the far-flung world of 2019.
I remember reading somewhere that it was Ridley Scott's intention to do a live-action version of Heavy Metal with Blade Runner, or at least to make something with the same kind of visual aesthetic.
HM didn't get to do the comics adaptation of course ( and frankly, they probably would've added a gratuitous sex scene or several anyway ), the job falling to Marvel, with those kings of the movie comic Archie Goodwin, Al Williamson & Carlos Garzon stepping into the breach.
Let's hope 2019 is as epic as this.
