RED One: Russian Spy is Americas greatest Hero -- where did it go?

[Captain Craig]

Anyone else recall this from a few years back with art by Dodson?
It was a time period book set in the late 70s. They published 4 issues, 2 a year but I've seen nothing in solicits since then.
I just did a bit of googling and couldn't find anything.

So just the 4 issues? If so that's a shame. I'd wager it was due to insisting on publishing it the 'European Way' as Dodson described in in one of the issues.

The series was cancelled in French.

[Captain Craig]

Ah, that would explain it then. Thanks.
I guess the Dodson't didn't want to purchase rights and make a go of it on their own with a more regular schedule.

Potential squandered

That's not how it works in France. But perhaps another publisher will pick it up and give them the opportunity to continue?

I bought those. i mostly enjoyed the premise although I think translations could have been better.

[AmiMizuno]

Was it a French title? I thought it was American. That sucks I brought HC

It's Image. Who did you figure owns the rights if not the creators?

[AmiMizuno]

I mean nothing on its own website says anything about it being canceled. Also the issues due ship annual let's hope it will make a return but unlikely. Also the copyright seems to have been updated for 2018 on the site so maybe a little hope

[AmiMizuno]

Red One isn’t cancelled. Just delayed

The dialogue is awkward in a number of places.

How so? I mean let's hope the Red One gets better when it returns

It didn't seem like natural dialogue sometimes.

They are releasing 4 “books” two over-sized issues per book. We should get two more before December 2018. Then the final two issues in 2019.... barring any complications.

Whew! I really enjoyed this series - glad to know that it's not over. I'll take the quality over quantity approach any day, plus the double-sized issues give you quite a lot to dig into.
