The Art of Carlos Ezquerra
An
often unsung titan of the industry, Carlos Ezquerra's influence has been as
broad as his artwork was inimitable.
His
co-creation of Judge Dredd and powerful work on Strontium Dog
alone helped establish 2000 AD as a powerhouse and him as a comics
master. When he passed away unexpectedly in 2018, comics was robbed of one
of its most vibrant, dynamic and powerful talents, yet his legacy is almost
unparalleled in the industry.
Publishing
as part of 2000 AD's 45th anniversary celebrations, this 240-page hardcover
collection spans half a century of his comic work and is ideal for
both long-time fans and those looking to discover his work for themselves.
Beginning with
samples from his early art on romance titles as Valentine and
Mirabelle, this book also collects never-before-reprinted short war comics
from the groundbreaking 1970s war comic, Battle.
It
also showcases his sumptuous colour work on Strontium Dog, and
culminates with selection of his 2000 AD work and his greatest creation, Judge
Dredd.
