SDCC ‘23 is almost here and Rebellion has just announced their first ever SDCC exclusive poster – featuring iconic character Judge Dredd. Designed by hotshot graphic designer Matt Ferguson, fans and Squaxx dek Thargo will be able to get the hands, paws and tentacles on either a black and white or colour variant of the poster. But be warned – there will be a very limited quantity available.
The SDCC Dredd poster will be a 24” x 36” offset litho fine art piece limited to 400 colour and 100 black and white editions, available exclusively from the Rebellion booth at SDCC (#2121) from Previews Night, Wednesday July 19. Sales will be limited – with only 50 of the colour and 10 of the black and white variants being available for purchase each day of the show. Rebellion is also making a limited quantity of 150 colour and 50 black and white available to 2000 AD subscribers through the 2000 AD Webshop from 12PM BST on Thursday July 20.
According to the Press Release:
“The greatest future city is coming to the greatest show on Earth – Rebellion is pleased to announce an exclusive limited edition Judge Dredd fine art poster by Matt Ferguson is coming to San Diego Comic Con next month.
“Fresh from promotional movie posters for Marvel Studios and Star Wars, Ferguson plunges us into the violent, crime-ridden megalopolis of Mega-City One as Judge Dredd stands ready to dispense justice – a hyper-cop for the hyper-future!”
The PR adds,
“To create his vision of the city created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra, Ferguson has drawn on over 45 years of Judge Dredd comics from the legendary British comic book powerhouse 2000 AD. This poster comes packed with Easter eggs for fans old and new – from signs advertising the ‘ugly clinics’ of Otto Sump and Mega-City One’s ‘Smokatorium’, to a raging Block War, and including the names of the greatest creators to ever work on Judge Dredd such as John Wagner, Carlos Ezquerra, Brian Bolland, and Ron Smith.”
Ferguson says,
“I have been a long time fan of 2000 AD and Judge Dredd and I always love working in that universe of comics, so it was great to apply techniques I would typically use for a movie poster on a project like this. It’s always fun to pack posters with easter eggs and Mega-City One is perfect for such a poster. Get wise! Get Ugly!”
And here is a better look at these gorgeous items. If you are attending SDCC ‘23 – put down your money and prepare to get Judge (Dredd)!
