There’s some great news for fans of 2000AD‘s Strontium Dog keen to see him on a big screen this morning. The stunning Search/Destroy: A Strontium Dog Fan Film, will be screened as part of London Super Comic Con later this month.
You can of course simply watch this brilliant fan project for free on YouTube, but it’s not quite the same, is it?
Search/Destroy: A Strontium Dog Fan Film is a short unofficial, not for profit project, based on the work of John Wagner, Carlos Ezquerra and Alan Grant. It was produced by the team behind the Judge Dredd-based fan film, Judge Minty, and follows Johnny and Wulf as they investigate a spate of Strontium Dog disappearances.
Matthew Simpson stars as Johnny Alpha and Kevin Horsham as Wulf Sternhammer, preview screenings and production images have received positive reactions from co-creators John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra.
The film received its premiere at 2000AD’s 40 Years of Thrill-Power Festival back in February and is now available to view online for free.
