IDW Publishing har især markeret sig med komplette genoptryk af klassiske avis serier, men nu drager de over Atlanten for at finde ny inspiration til genoptryk af golden oldies, og valget faldt så på Jordi Bernets hårdkogte noir mesterværk, “Torpedo 1936”. Okay, “hårdkogt noir” er måske en tautologi, for er ikke al noir hårdkogt? Da Catalan i USA og Interpresse herhjemme tidligere har måttet opgive at udgive denne serie komplet, skal det blive spændende at se, om det vil lykkes IDW at udgive hele serien. Første bind på 160 sider udkommer den 29. september.
Torpedo Volume 1 (Hardcover)
by Enrique Sanchez Abuli (Author), Jimmy Palmiotti (Author), Jordi Bernet (Author), Alex Toth (Author)
amazon.com review:
Product Description
Torpedo follows the story of a gangster whose life is traced from the innocence of childhood to amoral adulthood, and nearly every stop explored along the way. Abuli’s distinctive narrative builds the story over time and Jordi Bernet’s masterful renditions of the title character are stunningly cinematic – Torpedo is the Godfather of comics, in both subject matter and execution.

‘ang on a minute! Hvordan kan en tegneserie være “godfather”? Mon ikke de mener Jordi Bernet?
