Brilliant satire! The government's passive-aggressive tone is chef's kiss. Love the Colin Powell/Forrest Gump & clock details. So dismissive, yet revealing.

This is remarkable! (And weirdly undocumented, or at the very least not part of the Dredd creation myth)
All those Euro-artists were monster progheads I bet.
When is the poster from?
early punk year-zero-ism was on the whole very anti SF — partly bcz prog (loosely) was the wing of rock which dealt in SF, partly bcz DOLE QUEUES and RELEVANCE were the deal, partly bcz DYSTOPIA HERE NOW, i think (with a stress on depicting same in social realist terms) — the neo-ballardians — and all that herkyjerky* TV-phobic “new musik” — were the start of popu
for some reason the protogrebo hawkwind were generally spared full-on punk hostility, progpurge-wise: in similar manner, michael moorcock also got a bit more of a free pass than you’d expect (in both cases the hippydom was salted with something else) (but i’m not convinced the something else was anything worth much)
what’s particularly interesting about b.bubbles to me is that he represents a HIGH level of developed technique and craft (and historical understanding) — which punk and post-punk were hostile to in the area of music but needed LOTS of in the visual area
*when did this useful word stop being used?
According to the page linked that image is derived from a French source, and the B. Bubbles poster version is titled ‘Fanon – Dragon Commando’ (my emphasis). Does someone want to fill in the blanks and come up with a post-colonial explanation of all this?
According to the linked article, the ad is from 1973. However, Barney nicked the image from French comic artist Philippe Druillet’s ‘Les Iles du Vent Sauvage’ – http://www.coolfrenchcomics.com/lonesloane.html – which was 1970…
That’ll teach me not to follow the links.
Druillet to Dredd is a less surprising – but equally undocumented AFAIK – journey: of course Carlos Ezquerra would have known all those psychedelic 70s BDs. I bet he was into prog too though!
haha “druillet and flaubert’s SALAMMBO!”
metal hurlant — maybe french SF hippydom generally — SEEMS somehow more punk-friendly than its US or UK cousins: i don’t know if that’s a hangover from 68
