Strontium Dog Fan Film Awesomeness



Hello there, fellow Questers!!

    I hope that you are all doing well! I apologize for the radio-silence; however, it takes me a bit to get back in the swing of things after school gets into full swing. I promise to be back soon with those great articles that give you all that comic book knowledge that you can't get in any college!!

   Cuz THAT'S what I do. :-)

   Today, I have a nice treat for you, coming straight from the UK's premiere sci-fi comic book anthology series: 2000AD!! A comic much overlooked by filmmakers, very few offerings from this legendary series have made it to the big or small screens (not counting the series' most enduring, star property, Judge Dredd). Luckily for us, there are brilliant fans out there who are ready, willing and able to take matters into their own hand. Case-in-point: There is a Strontium Dog fan film...AND IT IS AWESOME!!!

   The Strontium Dog made his debut in Starlord #1, a UK publication produced in 1978 from IPC Magazines - the same company that published 2000 AD. Unfortunately, Starlord was short-lived, so Strontium Dog made the jump over to 2000AD in prog #88 published in 1978. Strontium Dog is from 2/3rds of the creators of Judge Dredd (John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra) and follows the futuristic story of Johnny Alpha, a badass, mind-reading, mutant bounty-hunter who can see through darn-near anything. Johnny is even more unstoppable than is vision - he is a highly skilled fighter, a relentless tracker, and one mean mutha with a hidden heart of gold.

   These filmmakers really did Johnny some justice. Without further ado, I present to you the award-winning Search/Destroy: A Strontium Dog Fan Film!

    Remember Johnny Alpha from the 2000 A.D. books back in the 90's.
    Seen that short movie years ago & i can only hope for a big movie to come out on the "Strontium Dogs" one day.
