Rick Veitch Knihy

V letech 1983–1987 mladý britský scenárista Alan Moore zmodernizoval americký komiks, přičemž jeho inovativní pojetí Bažináče nastavilo nové standardy pro grafické vyprávění a vyvolalo revoluci v komiksovém médiu. Navázal na rámec gotického hororu svých předchůdců a umocnil jej intuitivním stylem vyprávění a hlubokými postavami. Moorovu vizi realizovali talentovaní ilustrátoři jako Stephen Bissette a John Totleben, což vedlo k mistrovskému dílu odolávajícímu zubu času. V prvním ze šesti dílů Moorovy Ságy o Bažináčovi jsou sebrány sešity 20–28, včetně předmluvy od Ramseyho Campbella a úvodu od spolutvůrce a redaktora původní série Lena Weina. Příběh se odehrává na místě, které dýchá a žere, a v noci, pod pláštěm mlhy, se zdá, že má duši a tvář. Představte si, jak by vypadala podstata bažiny v tělesné formě, kdyby se všechny roztroušené kosti a hniloba spojily a začaly kráčet. V šeru se objevuje cosi velkého a pomalého, jehož pohyb je vážný a neodvratný. Oči mu plují jako krvavě červené vlčí máky a jeho tělo vyzařuje pižmovou, zelenou vůni. Když se přiblížíte, ucítíte vlhkost a pružnost, a víte, že jste na místě, kde neměli být. Tohle je legenda o Bažináčovi.

Collecting issues #6-12 of the incisive ARMY@LOVE, a series writer Rick Veitch describes as Desperate Housewives meets the war. This volume, leading into the upcoming ARMY@LOVE SEASON 2, follows the exploits of rivals Loman and Flabbergast, as well as Switzer, the woman they both love.

At the height of the cold war, a madman tricks the United States and the Soviet Union into launching their missiles and super-hero agents against each other. But instead of nuclear Armageddon, the act releases the secret cosmic potential of the human race. It was twenty years ago today that Rick Veitch took a bucketful of nuclear fear, added a healthy dollop of New Age mysticism, and served up a comic book super-hero series like no one had ever seen before. Written and drawn at the height of the final showdown between American style capitalism and Soviet era communism, The One spins an outrageous doomsday scenario that has proven even more relevant to today's ongoing global crisis. The One begins with the United States and the Soviet Union pushed into World War III by a certain blonde billionaire who has figured out how to turn a profit from a limited nuclear exchange. But the threat of Armageddon awakens a mysterious force in the human race that disarms the missiles and sets the world on a high-speed collision course with evolution. Finding themselves stripped of their atomic arsenals, both the American and Russian governments unleash top secret super-soldier projects to wage hand to hand combat against each other. The ensuing "Superior War" makes nuclear weapons seem like mere child's play.
