Gosh announce Marshal Law Super Babylon print

Gosh comics have announced the production of a limited edition Marshal Law print

Right here it says...

The atmosphere in the superhero filled basement has become decidedly icy, as Marshal Law, San Futuro’s meanest cape killer, returns to Gosh! in this exclusive print by the master of manic masterpieces Kevin O’Neill! Extremely limited at an edition of just 50, this signed, A3 Giclee, on high-white smooth archival paper, features the iconic image that originally graced the cover of Marshall Law: Super Babylon. 

Created by Pat Mills (the final boss of entertaining genre comics that make a point) and Kevin O’Neill (the king of the beguiling yet unsettling line), Marshal Law debuted in 1987 at Marvel’s Epic imprint, before heading up a stonking lineup of British talent in the short lived anthology Toxic! More recently collected in a deluxe format by DC, Marshall Law is one of the most iconic figures in British comics. In the spirit of Judge Dredd and with no small influence on the current hit series The Boys, Marshal Law is a violent, satirical comic about a futuristic law official charged with policing super-heroes gone rogue by any means necessary, all the while fighting his own self-loathing for being the thing he hates most: a super-hero. 

Our exclusive print is a grisly visual, depicting superhero hunter Joe Gilmore, aka Marshal Law, doing what he does best: dispensing the ultimate justice to a sickening and pathetic super hero. “Just another day in paradise” as the big man would say.   

Remastered from the original art, this A3 Giclee is printed on 315 gsm high-white, smooth, 100% cotton stock paper. Signed by Kevin O'Neill, the print is limited to an edition of 50, and retails for £45

You can buy a maximum of 3 copies of the print

Got a vintage Marshal Law t-shirt in your closet?

Over on that ebay (here) to be precise I've spotted a bit of comics merchandise that no self-respecting comic fan can surely (?) do without - yes, it's a (by the looks of it) vintage 1990s Marshal Law t-shirt...

As the seller notes...

Very rare, Hard To Find (HTF) collectable / collectible Original 1990’s Vintage UK Marshal Law / Toxic T-shirt.

This is one of the very first Merchandising items for this Character from Apocalypse Ltd. / Dark Horse comics. Owned from new and Bought direct via ads from the ORIGINAL RUN of TOXIC Comics in the UK. Note particularly the Toxic diamond logo on the front of the shirt. Also the colours are darker and more subtle than similar shirts that I’ve seen (my guess is that they brightened the colours on later prints to make him appear more like other super heroes for the American market - therefore entirely missing the satire and subversion inherent in this character). 

Very Good Vintage Condition - only slight wear of graphic around the edges. Label is missing and there are small holes under the armpits. There are two additional Tiny holes - one in the front and one in the back (please see photos for full details of condition). From smoke and pet free home. Sold As Seen.

...and all for bids starting from £90 (or offers) - happy bidding, I'll report back on how much it goes for


Note that the logo is actually that of 'Trident' not 'Toxic' comic.
