SHAFT #1-6 (David F. Walker / Bilquis Evely)

[Jack]

“Who’s the black private dick that’s a sex machine to all the chicks?”

Créé comme le “James Bond afro-américain” par l’écrivain Ernest Tidyman et interprété par Richard Roundtree dans les adaptations “Les Nuits rouges de Harlem” (1971), “Les Nouveaux Exploits de Shaft” (1972) et “Shaft contre les trafiquants d’hommes” (1972), le célèbre détective privé de New York fera son retour chez Dynamite Entertainment sous la plume et les crayons de David F. Walker (écrivain de l’essai “Reflections on Blaxploitation: Actors and Directors Speak”) et Bilquis Evely (Doc Savage).

Le premier arc racontera les origines de John Shaft: de son retour de la guerre du Vietnam en 1969 à ses débuts en tant que détective privé.
Shaft #1 sortira en décembre.

Going back to the James Bond comparison, the literary John Shaft is more complex than his cinematic counterpart. That’s just the nature of the mediums. It is why you always hear people complaining about the way their favorite books get adapted into films, how this scene got left out, or this character seemed overly simplified. For all of the things a film can do, as a medium, it doesn’t require the same sort of active participation that reading requires. I loved the movie “Silence of the Lambs” – it was a great adaptation of the book. But man, that confrontation between Clarice and Buffalo Bill at the end? The film simply didn’t capture it the way my mind interpreted what Thomas Harris had written.

Who’s the black private dick that’s a sex machine with all the chicks? Shaft! Created by author Ernest Tidyman, and made famous in a series of novels and films, iconic hero Shaft makes his comic book debut in an all-new adventure. He’s gone toe-to-toe with organized crime bosses, stood up to the cops, squared off against kidnappers, and foiled assassination attempts. But who was John Shaft before he became the hardboiled investigator with a reputation as big as New York City itself?[/quote]

Every great detective has their first case. For John Shaft, that first case seems simple enough. But tracking down a missing person for his girlfriend quickly turns into a matter of life and death. With the bodies piling up, Shaft realizes he’s in over his head. But can he stay alive long enough to figure out what is going on, or will his first case be the death of John Shaft?[/quote]

John Shaft didn’t go looking for trouble; it came looking for him, and in the process, a lot of people died. Devastated by the murder of a friend, Shaft wants answers and revenge—though not necessarily in that order. With vengeance on his mind and cold steel in his hand, Shaft finds himself caught up in a brewing gang war that threatens to consume the city. Everyone from the Mafia to the police wants Shaft to do their dirty work, but no one realizes that’s all part of his plan.[/quote]
