Adrian / Lowder

Old vs new. Wyatt wins this one for me.

Chris Lowder did some great stuff back in the day, but Arthur Wyatt's Dredds are good - so it's Wyatt for me.

Wyatt for me.

I thought that the Dredd (2012) movie spin-off stuff would be a bit turgid (forced media crossover not having the best track record), but I've really been enjoying Underbelly, Uprise and Dust in the meg. They just effortlessly seem to tread their own Dredd without, y'know, doing a double whammy.

And then there's Monkey Business (M376-377) - a perfect slice of Mega-City pie from a writer who clearly gets the world.

So, my vote's for the Arthur Wyatt droid.

Tough choice. On balance Ill go or Chris Lowder.

TordelBack · 10 May, 2020, 11:26:54 AM

While he did solid Future Shock work in his time, I got more fun from Intestinauts alone than all of Lowder's Dan Dare strips put together, so Arthur Wyatt it is.

CalHab · 10 May, 2020, 02:24:28 PM

Wyatt for me as well.

Woolly · 11 May, 2020, 03:57:11 PM

Arthur Wyatt, no contest.

Two completely different eras and styles of comics writing, and yet it's actually a fair comparison: both have tackled the Prog's biggest star, but both are perhaps more associated with Shocks and smaller thrills.

A couple of years ago I might've gone Lowder, but Wyatt has been getting better and better, and even in his early years he always had that touch of 2000AD weirdness.

Yeah, I'm with Wyatt.

Bolt-01 · 12 May, 2020, 02:08:12 PM

I'll vote for Arthur Wyatt.

Colin YNWA · 15 May, 2020, 06:53:38 AM

Ringing the bell on this one - closes tomorrow (Saturday) morning.

Pretty straight forward this one with

Arthur Wyatt

romping into the second Qalifying round.
