CAPTAIN AMERICA: LIVING LEGEND #1-4 (Diggle/Granov, Alessio)

[Jack]

C’est finalement en octobre 2013 que sortira Captain America: Living Legend. Cette mini-série en 5 numéros, envisagée par Andy Diggle pour la nouvelle collection de titres Astonishing, devait paraitre en 2010. Mais le dessinateur Adi Granov ne pouvant satisfaire la demande du mensuel, l’éditeur a mis le projet en “stand by” avant d’engager le dessinateur Agustin Alessio pour compléter la partie graphique.

Adi and I wanted to explore Steve Rogers as super-soldier rather than super-hero. An army of one. We wanted to tell the kind of tough-guy-on-a-mission story that we love in movies like Rambo and Predator, with the added sci-fi weirdness that the Marvel Universe setting allows. And personally, I wanted to explore the connection between Cap and Volkov, this mysterious figure from his past. We only had four issues to play with, and throwing in too many secondary characters would only have diluted it.

[quote=“Andy Diggle”]Adi quickly came on board with a fantastic story concept: Cap air-drops into an abandoned Russian military base where some kind of psychic research experiment has gone horribly wrong, fusing soldiers and machines into hideous biomechanical mutations. I loved the idea; it really fired my imagination, and synced perfectly with the kind of man-on-a-mission vibe I wanted, with an added sci-fi twist.

Basically I just grabbed the ball Adi threw me, and ran with it. The concept is all his. I invited him to co-write the script with me, and although he declined, he deserves the co-story credit. I also asked my writer friend Eddie Robson to help me flesh out the second half. I’m really pleased with the way it came out. It’s a little different. There’s a weird, alienated Tarkovsky vibe underlying the tough-guy action, which I think makes for an interesting contrast.[/quote]
