Description

"They look more like...Vikings?"

The Ragnarok Job/Rage was one of the greatest extended epics of 2000AD's golden pre-prog 500 age; all the more astounding in that it was drawn by just one creator, the mighty mighty Carlos Ezquerra.

The revelation of a Vietnam-era Huey suddenly appearing in C8th Norway was jaw-dropping. An audacious piece of plotting that yet again demonstrated how 2000AD was a no-holds-barred gonzo thrill-rode from cover to cover. Johnny and Wulf now have the firepower they need to foil Max Bubba and his Black Vikings...

Again Carlos' art is an essay in how to do comics. Show, don't tell, draw what you need, not what you don't. The economy of the decision-making throughout is uncanny in its accuracy; what might seem sketchy in the original art is transformed into pure narrative brilliance on the printed page. No whiteout or extensive under-drawing here; just ink and marker. RIP Rey Carlos.
