OK, THIS is a weird one, and that's saying something. Here's Warren Ellis' REMAKE poster challenge for this week.
"INSTRUCTIONS:
In 1975, while promoting the New York Dolls, Malcolm McLaren got some people from DC incapably drunk and walked off with a two-year license on one of their properties. Went back to London, changed the shop name from SEX to SEDITIONARIES, then said, "here, Viv, you reckon we could blag fifty grand off someone to make a fillum?"
1977. London. You have been tasked with producing the poster for Malcolm McLaren's JUSTICE LEAGUE film.
What does that look like?
You have one week. Begin."
If you don't know, Malcolm McLaren is the genius/huckster/PR man who created and managed The Sex Pistols, making them the most loved/hated band of their time. He did a ton of other cool stuff, and is well worth reading about: [link]
Anyway, I decided to play up the "puppet master" angle that was often slung at McLaren for how he made the bands he managed do outrageous things just to get press, which always worked. In my mind, the man is a @#$% genius.
Decided to give all the members of the Sex Pistols a super hero role, along with Annabella Lwin, the 15 year old girl he found in a dry cleaners and made the lead singer of Bow Wow Wow, another band he created and managed.

If I thought for a moment that this was anything more than a thought experiment, I wouldn't be writing this comment, I'd be out combing the junk shops, nostalgia places and specialty stores of the world for a copy of this terrible thing. Because it would be awful. And magnificent. And I would want it like Gollum wants the Ring.
