| Posted inUne infime partie d’ entre vous se sentiront soulagés d’ apprendre que cette horreur jaunâtre marque la fin de notre dossier entièrement consacré à la collection Topps. Passons rapidement sous silence le recto de cette 44ème trading-card et profitons de l’ espace laissé vacant pour dévoiler un des secrets entourant cette série Jaws 3D. Dans une interview parue en 2002 et menée par Matthew Stock, l’ illustrateur Mark Newgarden revient sur son implication au sein de la firme Topps et plus particulièrement sur son expérience concernant nos Dents de la mer adorées: « My very first assignment was on Jaws 3-D. This would have been more like 1982 or so. I remember Art called me up and told me they needed an series of 44 card backs over the weekend, first thing Monday morning, because they can’t get studio approval on the story line captions, or something like that. »
« They needed a backup « plan B » quick. So I wrote a series of « Funny Facts about Fish », just generic information about deep sea fish, which basically just involved going to the library and doing simple research. That was the first job I did for Topps. They never got used, I guess Topps ironed out whatever the temporary issue was with the studio. Some time later I was asked to come in on some of the various creative projects that were brewing there. » Terminons enfin avec le synopsis imprimé au verso qui ne ressemble que très vaguement au film que l’ on connait. Une preuve de plus des nombreuses modifications que Jaws 3D aura subit.
