Nja, jag tror inte Pat Mills (skapare av "Marshall Law") är så speciellt höger. Jag ser mer de brittiska serierna "Judge Dredd" och "Marshall Law" som dystopiska serier. Lite som att kalla George Orwell för kommunist för att han skrev "1984".

Well this will come as no surprise to you, American superheroes, mainstream superheroes are establishment figures, they stand for the American way and enforcing it on other people. They are rich, upperclass, they are sometimes arm dealer, Bruce Wayne foundation… They present themselves as somehow benign dictators. Bruce Wayne is someone who supposedly care about the world and the people of Gotham. In my experience, if you look at rich people in real life they do not correspond to this, they would often give money to charity and things like that, but that is simply to make themselves look good. And the proportion of money that they give to charity is… The charity itself is often questionable. Charities are racket, are money making racket, not all, but many of them. You give money to charity and most, maybe not most, but a lot of it goes into administration… We have many example in Britain of famous entrepreneurs and so on… So why Bruce Wayne should be different? In Marshall Law I have a similar character called the public eye and he looks down on the city and say: “I have pissed on the city and told them it is raining”. That was true when I wrote it and it’s still true today. It’s like wake up America! Why are you revering these characters? Why can we not have working class heroes, blue collar heroes? Marshall Law is either unemployed or he’s a hospital orderly.
Höger är ett ganska vitt begrepp här men jag ser ett ganska snarlikt budskap från den republikanska demografin i USA i dag.
Amerikansk och i viss mån brittisk arbetarklass var i regel inte lockade av socialistiska budskap. Punkare och serietecknare är liksom inte representativa för arbetande människor. De röstade på Tatcher och Reagan. Det betyder inte att det inte pågår ett klasskrig i deras samhällen.
