"C'mon you
apes! Do you want to live forever?"
Dark Horse, justly famous
for developing fine movie based comics like the Aliens and Predator lines,
does it again with this excellent Starship Troopers graphic novel. The
book contains three stories: The first details mankind's first encounter
with the Arachnids; the second tells the tragic tale of Port Joe Smith;
and the third is the story of the movie itself. The artwork in the first
and third stories is stunning. Crisp, clear and full of technical detail,
it perfectly captures the slightly glossy feel of the movie. The art in
the second story is less impressive, but no less powerful. The writing
throughout is superb, a perfect mirror to the "gung-ho" attitude of both
novel and film. If you're a fan of "Starship Troopers" in any form, do
yourself a favour and buy this book. You won't regret it.

STARSHIP
TROOPERS graphic novel expands on the film.
My
story, "Brute Creations," details the Bug attack on Port Joe Smith which
is mentioned in passing in the STARSHIP TROOPERS movie. "Brute Creations"
also expands on Jean Rasczak's role in the Bug War. Warren and Gordon's
story is a prequel to the movie, and Bruce's is the official movie comics
adaptation. |

Dark Horse
proudly heralds the return of living-legend
Jim Steranko to the world
of graphic storytelling.
In the mid-1970s, legendary
Marvel Comics innovator Jim Steranko tackled the most demanding challenge
of his career: creating an entirely new medium--the visual novel. Unlike
everything that came before it, the result seamlessly unified the literary
and artistic forms into an original and powerful narrative approach to
storytelling that was decades ahead of its time. |
| Not simply an
homage to Hammett, Cain, and Chandler, Red Tide is a noir masterpiece riddled
with dark passions, double crosses, and deadly violence in the hard-boiled
cinematic tradition of The Maltese Falcon, Chinatown, and Pulp Fiction.
Not coincidentally, such
filmmakers as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Francis Ford Coppola
chose Steranko as a collaborator on several of their most popular films.
Acclaimed internationally, Steranko's admirers have included Federico Fellini,
Alain Resnais, and Orson Welles. Dark Horse is proud to present his landmark
work, remastered with state-of-the-art color and incorporating new text
and imagery created especially for this edition.
Steranko is an international
award-winning artist, author, designer, and publisher who has influenced
generations of creative followers and helped shape the identity of American
popular culture. |
