Ah, I see.  I remember plenty of Deadline stuff from him of course; between him and the Hewlett lad they really defined the look of that comic (even though Steve Dillon and Brett Ewins were kind of the main men there).

Hang about though, it's in some film because I've seen it too.  Would have sworn it was Excalibur meself.

It is. It's here at around the 2 minute mark:

That's truly lovely, that is.  Did they really cut that from the finished version?
My mate works for John Boorman the odd time; apparently he's a sound guy but a fucking maniac.  Loves an afternoon drop of whiskey followed by a high speed drive into town (with my friend shitting himself in the passenger seat).  ALLEGEDLY.

Nice one, JT Pegg!  Really glad to see you're now an actual 2000ad creator. 
That said, you'll take the name Tharg's given you, young droid, or Mek Quake might be having an early lunch.

Jake Wyatt indeed... 

I'm guessing he's you then?  I've always said you should be working for Tharg.
Really looking forward to this; it's about time the specials reappeared

Did he ever do anything for the prog apart from Time Flies?  (I'd like to slag it off, what with it being early 2000ad Garth Ennis, but I to be honest I thought it was ok.)  The sequel was gubbins though

Shite, sounds excellent. I like Excalibur, me.

I recently watched my favourite film, the Wicker Man, with the missing bits pasted back in.  Most of it was fine, though there was really no need for [spoiler]Christopher Lee's silly chat with a snail.[/spoiler]

I couldn't even begin to comment on what was missing from the 95 Dredd film.  I wouldn't have minded seeing a few more bits cut out; or even all of them.

I took the squiggly speech to be Sláine tuning out of the conversation as he considered the weighs of killing Karn, rather than pissed-up ranting.
But I agree that this is the first time I've really enjoyed Sláine in years.  As you say, it's a simpler and stripped back approach; reminiscent of McMahon-era Sláine - though he's clearly a far older and wiser barbarian than the teenage thug of those days.
And the art is lovely.  One thing that's been missing for years in Sláine is the ancient architecture (if that's the right word) - Not since Belardinelli and the aforementioned McMahon have we seen such an atmospheric mix of mud, hide, grass and ropes.  I got a right old nostalgic glow seeing that village of huts.

Think so, aye.

'CRIPPEN FOR RIDGELEY!' 'TURK! TURK! TURK!'
Classic.

I liked A Child's Tale, me.  One of the rare instances that Alan Grant decided to bestow a bit of humanity onto Dredd's character.

It reminds me of another great one (though without the Dredd humanity): Again I can't remember the name, but it involved a woman obsessing over the possibility of Dredd arresting her for dropping 'a plastipak of stroberry jam'*, and going mental over it.

*Once again British English has crossed the Atlantic by the 22nd century.  But there's another thread about that.

While I haven't been too fond of Alan Grant Dredds of recent years (we KNOW he's a fascist, Alan!), the one all about feet has stuck in my mind just for the sheer bizarreness of it. 
He also did a great one-off about a democratic revolutionary years ago (pre-Necropolis, I think).
Finally, there was a profoundly disturbing and tragic story about a paralysed man with a thought-controlled monkey. 
Sorry I can't remember the names of them.

Well done to all the winners.  Glad to see that all of my entries came somewhere in the line-up.

Also, being chosen by Charlie the Squirrel must be quite a buzz!

I've just noticed what are clearly magic mushrooms in SKD's Land of the Young.  Absolutely shocking.  Scratch this drug-addled junkie from my number 2 spot.
[spoiler]Actually I'm tempted to put him at number 1; but I've made my decision.[/spoiler]

We tried are best to make it a more stronger episode, showing more judges, bit of action, lots of scenes that start to bring the story into light and show what the end of episode 1 was all about! which i know was annoying for a lot of people!!

I've found a lot of the criticism on this thread to be way too negative for my liking, but there is a lot of the constructive variety here too.
Good man, Oliver, you've obviously taken it on board instead of ignoring it (as many in your position would).  Like I've said before, the first episode was flawed but I enjoyed it - hope it's not too long before the new ones come out!

I see that my piece is "Shako in the artic".
I'm sure I didn't draw a polar bear driving a large lorry! 

Heh. I noticed that alright. 

Kennedy really took over from Ron Smith as the guy for those MC-1 slice-of-life oddities, didn't he? His oddballs are every bit as comedic as the Mighty Ron's, but with the added bonus of those greasy, grimy litter-strewn streets and thrillingly mysterious machinery that somehow still managed to look like it all worked.

I miss Cam's Dredd. Sniff!

Cheers

Jim

Yep, for me Cam's Sunday Night Fever MC1 will always be the definitive one.  Only the three Star Wars movies (you know which ones I mean) could match his success in combining futuristic hi-technology and back-alley shabbiness.  No wonder they got him to do the Star Wars comics.
