Thanks for the interesting roundup Funt - the Chopper one (prog 424) reminded me of this reworking by Dave Elliott for the Quality Comics reprint:

Hi Funt, just wanted to say thanks for doing this, what a great piece of work!  It's interesting seeing the stories indexed this way, and easy to browse around. Cheers!

I do think we hamstring ourselves a bit as artists when we think "oh comic time means we're only allowed to do one action per frame" comics time can be a lot weirder than that if we let it...

This seems like a good opportunity to post this comic by Tom Gauld, which I thought rather cleverly shows the impact framing and lettering can have on timing:



Enjoying the prog too, and the way this week's Dredd is written reminded me (in a good way) of how some of the earlier Sinister Dexter stories were told (the Bullet Time one springs to mind).

Reporting in from Cambridgeshire, 2310 and 2311 arrived today (along with a mountain of other less thrill-powered post).

My long, slow quest to document all the free gifts from the original 'Eagle' grinds slowly on...

This reminds me, I have some pictures for you that may help with your quest... have sent you a PM with details.  Thanks for the blog btw!

Cheers MumboJimbo, glad it helped with the re-read.  I had similar thoughts when re-reading the previous 'dimension-jumping' arc, it all fits together much better than you expect from reading it in dribs and drabs over however many years.

Have to say I never made the connection between the art style and the changes to Download, but now you point it out it makes sense, will be interesting to keep an eye on where things go.  Download certainly felt like a key character in the early days, very much as MC-1 is to Dredd.

One thing occurred to me about the less frequent appearances we have now, perhaps that's Dan's choice? (Well, as much as Tharg lets droids have a choice in these things).  SinDex has covered a lot of ground over its 25 years, and all from one writer.  Maybe this is a way to keep it going but without burning through material, and at the same time frees Mr Abnett's creative energy for all his other projects.

Funt - I do have a list of Nikolai Dante stories (in the same form as the SinDex pdf posted at the start of this thread), but no reading guide.  Will have a dig around and post it at the weekend if no-one else has anything.
