The artbook featuring a look at the iconic Judge Dredd from artist Jock has received another delay, this time moving the release date out of summer.
The Art of Judge Dredd by Jock from Rebellion Publishing will highlight the work from the comic book artist Mark Simpson, best known to fans as Jock. It was announced in January and expected to hit shelves in May, before being delayed to July in the last update. Now though, the book has been moved again and will be released on October 21st, as seen on retailer listings online.
Unlike the last delay, the new release date is more consistent, as it was previously listed for July for the UK, but in some regions, including the USA, it was set to be published in September. Now that the dates line up in all countries, it can hopefully be taken a positive sign that this will be the last schedule change. When this new shift happened is unknown, but noticed when working on the next Artbook News Roundup video.
There is still no final cover art for the book, which can often be an indication that the book is not coming out anytime soon, as they get an update at least a couple of months in advance. I can't think of any artbook that has had a late cover reveal, so once there is one, fans can be more confident in this latest publication date.
The Art of Judge Dredd by Jock will showcase early sketches and layouts throughout its 224 pages, as well as the finished pieces from the artist. Fans of both the comic series and Jock himself will enjoy seeing his creative process, which will make the book fit well in their collections alongside the comics themselves. The 2012 Dredd movie will be featured in this book too, highlighting Jock's concept art on the project.
Updates for the book will be reported here and a copy will be joining the collection to be previewed and reviewed. Those interested in ordering The Art of Judge Dredd by Jock can do so below;
