IDW and Beau Smith Unleash Blockbuster Action With A New Hero!
Smith’s “Tough Guy For The New Millennium” Arrives In May
This May, IDW Publishing is aiming to bring no-holds-barred action back to comics as “the last real man in comics,” Beau Smith, presents his latest creation, Cobb. Cobb is a former Level One Secret Service agent who has been off the radar for the last few years. When his aimless actions land him in jail, one of his former government contacts decides that it’s time for Cobb’s special talents to be put to amore productive use. On this first Cobb miniseries, Smith is aided and abetted by fellow comics legend Eduardo Barreto (Doomed, Aliens/Predator: Deadliest of the Species). Barreto is providing covers and full b&w art with greyscale tones for this miniseries.
In the first issue Cobb: Off the Leash–the debut Cobb adventure–Cobb’s protective skills are needed to save a very important witness from a sadistic Russian Mafia leader with connections to a terrorist cell.

"Most folks that have heard about Cobb ask me if he’s a tough guy,” said self-proclaimed manly writer Smith. “I tell em’ no, he’s not. Cobb is a vertebrae. Any guy can have balls, but a real man has backbone. Cobb isn’t some psycho out for revenge. Nobody killed his family in front of him. Nobody put his puppy in a bag and dropped it into the river. He protects the weak because it’s the right thing to do. Just wait until the readers see what he does to the Russian Mafia and Al Qaeda. It even seems Frank Miller has jumped on my manly bandwagon. Welcome aboard, Frank. Glad to have ya."

Cobb: Off The Leash #1, the first issue of a four-issue mini-series, premieres in May 2006 with 32 action-packed black and white pages. Beau Smith has provided additional words and pictures about the miniseries here.

MATURE READERS. Beau Smith ain't writin' this manly comic for kids under 18, so hands off, kid.

Ah merde qu'est-ce qu'a été faire Barreto avec Smith.

P't'être que c'est bien comme scénar'. En tout cas, les dessins, on en doute pas !

En même temps, c'est des univers qui lui vont à merveille.
Moi, Barreto, je prends aveuglément, donc voilà, c'est vendu !

De mémoire, oui.
Quelque part en Normandie.
Au rayon "S".
Comme Superman.
C'est limite, là : ça rentre dans la période où y a des trous. Genre, ses SHADOW STRIKES, il m'en manque encore.
C'est pour ça que j'essaie de pas louper les trucs récents, après, je vais encore m'en mordre les doigts…

En mai 2006 sortira chez IDW Publishing une nouvelle mini-série en 4 épisodes écrite par Beau Smith (Wolverine/Shi, Wildcat) et dessinée par Eduardo Barreto (Aliens/Predator: Deadliest of the Species), Cobb: Off The Leash. Cette mini sera en noir et blanc.

L’histoire est celle de Frank Cobb. Cet agent secret est retiré de la scène géopolitique depuis plusieurs années déjà, quand on se décide à le sortir de sa retraite (et du même coup de la prison dans laquelle il est enfermé pour ses sombres actions) afin de protéger un témoin menacé par un responsable sadique de la mafia russe, ayant en plus des relations avec Al Quaeda. Cobb est l’homme de la situation. Espionnage et action, les deux ingrédients de Cobb: Off The Leash.

Un agent pur et dur ? Beau Smith explique sa vision du personnage, en se référant également à Frank Miller avec un sens de la provoc bien particulier :
"Most folks that have heard about Cobb ask me if he’s a tough guy,” said self-proclaimed manly writer Smith. “I tell em’ no, he’s not. Cobb is a vertebrae. Any guy can have balls, but a real man has backbone. Cobb isn’t some psycho out for revenge. Nobody killed his family in front of him. Nobody put his puppy in a bag and dropped it into the river. He protects the weak because it’s the right thing to do. Just wait until the readers see what he does to the Russian Mafia and Al Qaeda. It even seems Frank Miller has jumped on my manly bandwagon. Welcome aboard, Frank. Glad to have ya."
Pour l’anecdote, Smith et Barreto ont déjà travaillé ensemble sur un "special Elseworlds prestige" intitulé Wonder Woman vs. Xena, pour Dark horse et DC Comics. Le script était finalisé et Barreto avait dessiné 15 pages quand Dan DiDio a décidé de planter le projet, déclarant que l’intérêt était moindre depuis l’arrête de la série TV Xena. Encore un projet avorté ! ;)

Je n'en ai jamais trouvé qu'un seul, de numéro, j'espère bien dénicher les deux autres un jour. Car, à ma connaissance, ça n'a jamais été compilé. Et pourtant, c'est chouette, bien vigoureux et tout…
