Happy 30th Anniversary!

This is not a new article, but just my way to celebrate my favorite comics character, written by my favorite writer, and illustrated by my favorite artist. Last August has marked the 30th anniversary of the first Marshal Law comics (issue #1 of the Epic Comic series), and the very same month I was able to put my hand on an A/P copy of the Graphitti Designs limited signed edition described here.



Interested to know more or to dig deeper into the series/character? Marshal Law has is own Facebook page and his own dedicated blog/site.

Articles Upgrade February 2016

A few Months ago I have started to do some re-work on my earliest articles, beginning with The Life and Times of Martha Washington in the Twenty-First Century Signed & Numbered Ultra-limited Slipcase Edition and Doctor Who The Dave Gibbons Oversized Collection.



This week I have upgraded in the same manner, i.e. adding more pictures and listing more exhaustively the extra contents, my article about Marshal Law Graphitti Designs Limited Edition.

Marshal Law The Deluxe Edition

Art and color by Kevin O'Neill (except "Marshal Law Takes Manhattan" coloured by Mark Chiarello), scripts by Pat Mills. All illustrations used here are ©Pat Mills & Kevin O'Neill.




This book was published in April 2013 by DC comics (ISBN: 978-1-4012-3855-1, 11 x 7.5 inches or 29 x 19 cm, cover price 49.99$, 420 pages) and printed on thin glossy paper.

It comes with a fully illustrated dust jacket. A picture below gives an insight of the size of this edition compared to previous ones that don't share the same content (French edition, larger UK magazine edition, Graphitti Designs edition, US paperback and regular one shot). Second and third of cover originate from the French edition and were already used for the Graphitti Designs edition.





The inner hardcover book comes with the same virgin illustrations.





Here is the global content of this edition. The book is introduced by Jonathan Ross (2 pages dated November 2012) and Pat Mills has wrote a 2 page afterword in December 2012. A two page coloured map of San Futuro and a new Sleepman title page illustration are exclusive to this edition.







Each story are presented with their original virgin cover (with credits for the "Takes Manhattan" story, and fully developed for the "Secret Tribunal" original comics) and title pages. In fact the main content is quite similar to the UK Titan Books paperbacks series.








one of the greatest splash page ever produced


The book ends with a ten page 'Shooting Gallery'. Most of the material listed here has previously been published in the Graphitti Designs edition:


  • Toxic #14 cover + illustration used for the US "Fear and Loathing" paperback introduction
  • fully developed cover from the second issue of "Secret Tribunal"
  • Covers from "Strip" magazine #1 and #3
  • Covers from volume 2 and 3 of the French Zenda edition
  • Two character designs (Marshal Law and Celeste) for a proposed movie adaptation
  • Illustration for a Marvel retail poster (1989)
  • Back cover of the third volume of the French Edition
