Elephantmen: Shots #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "When the Night Comes," Judge Dredd confronts a surreal hallucination sparked by the Umpty Candy—a hippo in a trench coat impersonating a Judge—before a century-long leap forward finds Hip Flask and Miki uncovering the mysterious Umpty Gun, triggered by a sudden deja vu of a past life in fetish gear and a weaponized motorcycle. Written by Richard Starkings and illustrated by Boo Cook in a bold, unified artistic vision, this issue blends psychological tension with retro-futurist mystery, all wrapped in a striking cover by J. Scott Campbell.
In "Elephantmen: The Naked Truth," Jo and a cast of Elephantmen characters find themselves caught in a series of absurd, self-aware scenarios where their nudity is met with increasingly dramatic warnings—each page adorned with faux legal disclaimers and illustrated underwear meant to cover the scenes. The humor leans into the ridiculous, turning a simple visual gag into a playful, cheeky commentary on modesty and audience reaction.
In "The Umpty Gun," Judge Dredd’s world spins into chaos when a mysterious candy triggers wild hallucinations—leading him to chase a trench-coated hippo he’s convinced is a fake Judge. Centuries later, Hip Flask and Miki stumble upon the strange weapon after Flask’s fleeting déjà vu hints at a past he can’t quite recall.
In "Get Nikken!", the legendary Strontium Dog and Wulf Sternhammer—alongside Gronk—face off against the Elephantmen in a high-stakes arrest attempt that echoes across two decades. Twenty-five years later, the once-feared Elephantmen have been rehabilitated, but the past catches up when Dr. Nikken is finally brought to justice.
