Description

The tremendously talented Steve Erwin reached back to one of his earliest comics assignments to create the scenario for this Common Elements entry starring Vigilante -- a character whose exploits Steve drew in the 1980s -- and Judge Dredd.

The artist places our pistol-packing juggernauts at the dimensional nexus featured in Grimjack, another '80s title whose pages Steve's pencils graced. Notice how the background behind Vigilante reflects his location in Manhattan, while Dredd enters the scene from MegaCity One. At the corner of the building housing Munden's Bar -- Grimjack's home base -- their two worlds collide.

The common element here will be apparent to readers who recall that behind the Vigilante mask is Adrian Chase, by profession a criminal court judge.

Thanks to Steve Erwin for a simply scintillating scenario, both in concept and execution. Additional thanks to Bob "The Ink King" Almond, who added punch and pop with his expert inks. And special thanks to fellow CAF member Damon Owens, who recommended Steve's commission services to me. Here's a tip: When the great Owens gives you a suggestion, go with it.

This is Common Elements #113.
