“I Am the Law”: How Dredd (2012) Captures the Spirit of the Judge Dredd Mythos

-
Image
In the long shadow of comic book adaptations, Dredd stands as a lean, gritty, and faithful tribute to one of the most iconic antiheroes in comic history: Judge Dredd. Far removed from the neon kitsch and narrative misfires of the 1995 Judge Dredd film starring Sylvester Stallone, Dredd is a stripped-down, brutal, and grounded take on the lawman of Mega-City One. But more than just a hard-edged action flick, Dredd is deeply embedded in the lore and philosophy of the original 2000 AD comic series. Dredd is a film that doesn’t just adapt the character it’s portraying —it understands him. The being that would become synonymous with the faceless reality of justice first appeared within 2000 AD issue #2 back in 1977, and was the brainchild of writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra . Conceived during a time of political unrest and growing authoritarianism, Judge Joseph Dredd was a dark satire of fascism wrapped in the skin of a futuristic law enforcer. Set within Mega-City One, ...

The Gloriously Untrue Adventures of Sapphira Review – A Vivid Journey Through Sapphira Olson’s Imagination

-
Image
Every now and then, a comic enters my airspace that reminds me why the medium is a pretty powerful storyteller. The Gloriously Untrue Adventures of Sapphira is one of those discoveries. It is unpredictable, self-aware, and strangely emotional. It’s the sort of book that defies every rule of structure yet somehow feels entirely complete by the final page. Written and illustrated by Sapphira Olson , this opening issue drops you into a world that feels half dream and half diary. A mysterious goddess narrates her own strange existence, while a space kitten drifts through her reality like a spark of chaos. It sounds ridiculous when you try to describe it out loud, but that is part of its charm. Olson uses absurdity as a language of truth, exploring identity and creativity through humour and vivid bursts of imagination. What struck me first about this journey was how alive it feels. Olson’s unique art style brings its own rhythm to each page which sees us moving between bright explosions of...
