DOC SAVAGE #1-8 (Chris Roberson / Bilquis Evely)

[Jack]

L’éditeur DC Comics a perdu les droits d’exploitations de Doc Savage au profit de Dynamite Entertainment. En charge des nouvelles aventures de l’Homme de Bronze, l’éditeur a fait appel au prolifique Chris Roberson (The Shadow, Codename Action) qui s’est déjà illustré sur les personnages dits “pulp” avec la maxi-série Masks.

Pour son premier arc en collaboration avec la dessinatrice Bilquis Evely, Roberson développe une histoire en huit chapitres qui partira de la première apparition publique de Doc Savage en 1933 jusqu’à notre époque. Il y expliquera ce qui est arrivé à l’aventurier après le dernier archivage périodique de ses enquêtes à la fin des années 1940. Il reviendra notamment sur le cabinet pour criminels où le héros “soignait” ses ennemis de leur pulsion maléfique afin qu’ils ne viennent plus inquiéter le statu quo.

Sortie du premier numéro prévue pour décembre 2013.

On the one hand, Doc Savage is very much a product of his time, and much of the appeal of his setup and supporting cast can best be enjoyed when he’s set in the '30s and '40s. At the same time, though, the basic core qualities of the character – a person who pushes himself towards physical and mental perfection, who never lies and never kills, who travels the world in an endless pursuit of knowledge and justice – those are things that transcend the original setting. So what we’re attempting to do with this story is begin at the beginning, in an adventure set in 1933, and then gradually move forward towards the present day, preserving the aspects of the character that are more timeless, and introducing new elements that bring him more in line with a contemporary setting.

Non, ça sera la 2ème. Il y a juste eu le magnifique nanar des années 70.

Cette VF est un bonheur !

I’ve been hinting (not so subtly) to the good people at Dynamite that I adore Doc Savage since we first started talking a few years ago. Another publisher had the license at the time, but I would mention to Dynamite from time to time that it was a shame they didn’t have a “Doc Savage type” in their lineup, and that maybe we could work something out, either using a public domain character, or another license, or an original character that would fill the role. When the news came out last year that the previous publisher no longer controlled the license, I immediately started firing off emails to Dynamite, letting them know that if they ever got hold of the license, I wanted to write it. And I kept mentioning it, every time we talked, for MONTHS. Finally, and possibly just to get me to shut up about it, they gave me the chance to write the book!

En VO, le film est tout de même nettement moins catastrophique.
Y a des tas de films qui sont redoublés, mais celui-ci, il mériterait un redoublage correct.

C’est sûr qu’en plus d’entendre Grosminet, ce doublage (cette espèce de cheveu sur la langue) va à l’encontre de ce qu’est Doc Savage : l’incarnation de la perfection.

Méprise complète donc.

In my head, Doc is a “science hero,” first and foremost. You can see some of the core elements of the superhero genre in him, of course. And naturally he’s a pulp character in that he originated in the pulp magazines, but I think when people think “pulp hero” they often tend to gravitate towards figures like the Shadow or the Spider, and Doc really doesn’t have much in common with them. He doesn’t have a secret identity, or a costume (barring his “utility vest,” I suppose), or even an origin story, for that matter. He’s just a guy with an absolute faith in science who fights to oppose oppression.

J’ai lu les deux premiers numéros est c’est plutôt pas mal, **Roberson **remet notamment sur le devant de la scène le principal aspect de la personnalité de Doc Savage voulu par ses créateurs (Ralston, **Nanovic ** et Dent) : le scientifique.

When his adventures began in 1933, Doc Savage was aided by five loyal associates. By 2014, his operation is truly global in reach, thanks to a smart phone of Doc’s own design that allows anyone anywhere to ask for help or help others in return, and millions of people take part every day. But when everyone using the device is suddenly and without warning becomes immediately violent and aggressive, Doc might only have himself to blame…[/quote]

FINAL ISSUE!!! More than eight decades after his adventures began, Doc Savage might finally be facing a threat that he cannot overcome. Everything he has built over the years, everything he has accomplished, could be undone in a single, terrible moment. And that fact that his own inventions and discoveries are to blame only makes matters worse.[/quote]
