More on Ritchie’s Gamekeeper

Writer/Director Guy Ritchie‘s influence on British cinema since the debut of “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” has been immense. Through “Lock Stock” and “Snatch,” Ritchie has single handedly given the British cinema the injection it needed to get back on its feet. And it’s not just in Britain where his influence can be felt, as both films featuring very bad, but very colorful characters, were well received by American audiences as well.
Can Ritchie do for comics what he did for British cinema? We’ll find out on March 28th when the first issue of “Guy Ritchie’s Gamekeeper” sees release from Virgin Comics. This will be the first of two five-issue “Gamekeeper” mini-series created by Ritchie, written by Andy Diggle with art by “Devi” artist Mukesh Singh. All five issues will have two or three covers each, with each issue getting a cover from Singh and John Cassaday. Issue #1 will have a third cover by superstar cover artist Greg Horn and issue #2 will feature a third cover by a former Comic Book Idol contestant and someone who’s turning a lot of heads right now, “The Nightly News” artist Jonathan Hickman.To read the interview with writer Andy Gibble and see the covers, click on the image below.
