New Releases by Carlos Ezquerra

Entre los más felices recuerdos que las retinas de nuestra memoria guardan de la gran pantalla, muchos pertenecen al género musical. La alegría que sentimos viendo a Gene Kelly y su sonrisa infinita saltando entre esos charcos bajo una copiosa lluvia, la viva emoción que nos invade al contemplar el baile de Cyd Charisse y Fred Astaire en aquel Hyde Park nocturno con los rascacielos al fondo en “The Band Wagon”, el eléctrico y sensual garaje de “West Side Story” o el multitudinario baile de los conductores retenidos en la autovía al inicio de “La La Land”, son a la par, fuentes de placer y belleza. El género musical es, en muchos sentidos, la quintaesencia del cine. Este libro ofrece un recorrido distendido y, a veces, irreverente, por la historia del género, plagado de anécdotas curiosas, datos insospechados y descubrimientos sorprendentes, acompañados de numerosas y hermosas fotografías de los films.

Aunque todo aficionado al cine conoce de sobra los hitos del cine británico (el primer Hitchcock, “El tercer hombre”, “El puente sobre el río Kwai”, James Bond, los Monty Python, “Doctor Zhivago”, Christopher Nolan…), lo cierto es que considerado en bloque el legado fílmico inglés es, de algún modo, el gran desconocido que esconde un considerable caudal de títulos de calidad. Unas páginas repletas de tesoros fílmicos por descubrir y rememorar. Un cine forjado en una formidable tradición teatral, una literatura incomparable, como Stevenson, Conan Doyle, Tolkien, Bram Stoker, Agatha Christie, y una capacidad extraordinaria para crear mitos populares como Frankenstein, Drácula, el señor de los anillos, Peter Pan, el rey Arturo o James Bond.

The best-selling Judge Dredd graphic novel series continues with the most popular crossover story in its history - a tussle with xenomorphs from Ridley Scott''s Alien film franchise! Mega-City One - a nightmarish enclosure located along the Eastern Seaboard of North America. Only the Judges - powerful law enforcers supporting the despotic Justice Department - can stop total anarchy running rife on the crime-ridden streets. Toughest of them all is Judge Dredd - he is the law and these are his stories... Judge Dredd has brought countless monsters to justice but now the ultimate killing machines, cinema''s most famous xenomorphs, surface in Mega-City One and it may well be more than the Justice Department can handle!

An all-out all-action, complete-in-one brutal war story from the pages of the classic war comic, Battle, hugely influential on Preacher and The Boys creator Garth Ennis. Meet the deadliest band of fighters on the Eastern Front! During world War Two the Eastern Front was hell on Earth. German Punishment Battalions were thrown into the thick of the conflict where they were expected to fight well and die hard. In these harshest of conditions only the strongest warriors survived. Enter the Death Squad – Grandad, Swede, Licker, Gus and Frankie. Alone they were failures and outcasts, but together they were one of the most formidable combat units the Russians ever faced!

The definitive collection of the highly-political comic book classic of global capitalism, rebellion and exploitation from legends Pat Mills (Marshal Law) and the late, great Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd)! Eve is unemployed after leaving university and is immediately conscripted as a soldier working for a corporation and discovers just how South American countries are being exploited to create food needed to feed the increasing population for their profit under the guise of western paternalism. Written in the late 80s by Pat Mills (Nemesis the Warlock, Slaine) but even more relevant today as the concerns about global capitalism are even more pronounced in the public consciousness. Carlos (Judge Dredd) Ezquerra’s painted colour artwork is a highlight of his long and distinguished career.

IT''S A DOG''S LIFE The Search/Destroy agent Johnny Alpha is still alive. Having wreaked vengeance against the humans that plotted the ''final solution'' to mutant-kind, he is released from prison for one last job in deep space that only a Strontium Dog can do. And with the freedom of his friends on the line he has no choice but to accept... Now that their careers as bounty hunters are off the cards, his mutant friends have a new job proposition. They are hired to repossess ''The Rock'' - an asteroid space-station owned by a galactic crime lord - and to succeed they must pull off a heist of galactic proportions!

In the far future mutants twisted by radiation are outcasts from society and given only the dirtiest job - bounty hunting. Johnny Alpha is the greatest mutant working for the Search/Destroy Agency, hunting down the criminals for the Galactic Crime Commission. The inhabitants of Jock''s Landing on the water world of Och-Eleven have been slaughtered and everyone thinks Johnny Alpha and his partner Wulf are the murderers! Framed by two sinister Stix brothers in retaliation for the murder of their brother, the hunters become the hunted and must evade a legion of Strontium Dogs, whilst trying to clear their names.

His name is Judge Death and in his eyes all life is crime! Together with his brothers Fear, Fire, and Mortis, the super-fiend from Deadworld is determined to end all life in Mega-City One once and for all! This compilation features classic Judge Death tales from the pages of 2000 AD, presented in all-new color!

Mutant Bounty Hunter of the future. Following the atomic war of 2150, a large proportion of the survivers were warped by Strontium 90 fallout. Their mutated offspring, defeated in a war against the the ‘norms’, were forced to live as second class citizens in poverty-stricken ghettos. The only job available to them was bounty hunting. One such Search/Destroy agent is Johnny Alpha, who has the power to emit piercing Alpha rays from his eyes which enable him to see through solid objects and into the minds of men. Armed with the latest hi-tech weaponry and a burning hatred for the father who abandoned him, Johnny has a score to settle and nobody will get in his way...

These are some of the greatest cases of Judge Dredd.

Dans un monde où des super-héros sillonnent le ciel ou rôdent dans la nuit, quelqu''un doit faire en sorte qu''ils ne dépassent pas les bornes. Et ça, c''est le boulot de Billy Butcher, du P''tit Hughie, de la Crème, du Français et de la Fille. Les P''tits Gars de la CIA, une équipe de gens dangereux. Ça tombe bien, puisqu''ils luttent contre la force la plus dangereuse de la Terre : les gugusses à super-pouvoirs. Certains super-héros doivent être surveillés. D''autres doivent être contrôlés. Et certains, parfois, doivent dégager. Et c''est là qu''interviennent nos P''tits Gars. Silver Kincaid, un membre des G-Men, s''est suicidée, et Hughie est chargé d''infiltrer le groupe pour découvrir ce qui s''est réellement passé. Les P''tits Gars parviendront-ils à se sortir de cette mission délicate sans trop de dégâts ? A noter: la nouvelle série The Boys sera diffusée à partir du 26 juillet 2019 sur Amazon Prime Video.

In the far future, Strontium-90 nuclear fallout has created a sub-race of mutants. Outcasts from society, they are despised by ''norms'' - humans unaffected by the radiation - and given only the dirtiest job: bounty hunting. Johnny Alpha is one such mutant, working for the Search/Destroy Agency, hunting down the criminals for the Galactic Crime Commission.

War is a dirty business... so who better than criminals to fight it? When Major Taggart breaks four military convicts out of jail, they think they’re headed for Easy Street... but they couldn’t be more wrong. Before, they were scum — now, they’re the Rat Pack! A collection of classic strips from the British boys’ comic, Battle.

Major Eazy is a maverick soldier in a dirty war, caught up in the Allies'' invasion of Italy in 1944 and determined to see justice done. Even when that means taking on villains on his own side, he doesn''t pull any punches! More movie star than military, Eazy was the most laconic and indeed British officer ever to grace the pages of a comic. This volume starts from the very beginning of Eazy''s story.

Earth, late 22nd century. Many survivors of the Atomic Wars were mutated by Strontium 90 fallout. These mutants became an underclass, hated by the ruling ''norms''. The only job left for them was bounty hunting. The best of these agents was Johnny Alpha, who died defending his kind - but even death can''t keep a good man down.
