Many years ago, at age seven or eight, I was reading through the only comic I read at the time, Marvel UK's Transformers, when I turned onto a page advertising a new comic. It depicted a Superman-like character with a T-rex's head, and he had a massive hole blown through his torso. Opposite Super Rex stood, what looked like, a leather bound, German prison guard aiming two massive guns. Long after I had finished reading the 107th variation of good robots punching bad robots I would go back to that advert and pour over the artwork from Kevin O'Neill over and over again. I had never seen anything like it. "They must have to lock this guy up at night" I thought to myself as I obsessed the tiny details O'Neill would include on his art, right down to the puns scribbled on guns and bits of the background. A year later- thanks to a randomly bought issue of fantazia- I would find out the fascistic cop was the (anti)hero of this unknown comic strip, his name was Marshal Law and he hunted super heroes. Having eventually read Pat Mill's scathing satire of the super hero genre (Law is cited as a huge influence on Garth Ennis' The Boys) the last thing I expected to ever see was a figure of Law himself, but Unbox Industries - who made the Zombo figure I reviewed at before- have only gone and produced a vinyl figure of San Futero's top hero hunter. If only he could find some.
