Dante, here's the deal!

Nik Dante,

I cannot be bothered to go over old ground with you.:0)

All I will say is I will write my screenplay and then you can judge my worth as a writer.

Arguing over who said this or didn't say that is a waste of time.

boy you court controversy don't ya!! thanks for coming back and livening things up, heres me own twopence worth of comment, your helter skelter outline on these pages was awful, sorry mate, but I would love to read some of your subs for future shocks, the recent attempts in 2kad have been so poor, and I did like your point further down, that the pool of writers for 2kad is very small, gordon rennie seems to have something every week for the last few years.

I just realised!

Nik Dante is Barry.

Did you read my FS?

Any views on it?
Post them here or email me.

That's because Gordon can write something every week for years, how many wannabe writers can do that?

No WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not in a million years!

My idea of an alternate Judge invasion headed by Cal and his cronies was far better than Ennis'.
The sub plot of Dredd being haunted by his alternate Dredd clone was more imaginative too.
The hole appearing and the plaza breaking down in temporal meltdown was way better than Garth's where Dredd takes on the bad guys on his own.

I only wrote about 4 parts too.
There was more plot in my 4 parts than in the whole of Ennis'!

Besides I WOULD NEVER HAVE WRITTEN A HELTER SKELTER SCRIPT.
Mark challenged me.
So I wrote some teaser parts.

I will never accept my H Skelter was inferior to Garth's.

it's a shame that comic writers in general don't get the recognition of 'serious' authors who produce one novel every five years. Rennies work is consistant and I don't really see a reason why he should stop just yet, but scojo's question is valid, or is it, anyone got time to trawl the rest of this site and tell us how many new writers there have been in the last 3/4 years?

[Dominic O'Rourke]

your right, garths was awfull too!!!! ;)

Is it quality not quantity that is important.

Any writer can write day in day out.

Rain Dogs was a rip off, of two old 2000AD storys.
They being:

INVASION 1990
DEAD MEAT (series 1 and 2)

So he ain't as hot as people think.

what was the strip that had london flooded was this part of invasion (pre prog 100 I think)

[Thread Zero]

Mine was far better.

More imagination in my 4 parts than his 12 or how ever long it was!

[pauljholden]

heh. And what about Necronauts?

As I've said before, 2000AD is a WEEKLY comic. If you can only produce one amazing script every six years you're no use as a comic writer.

I would note though, that even Rennie his worst has been several million times better than that single future shock you sent me.

I think it was Invasion 1990.

I just posted that D!!!

Bill Savage.

Post modernist Lad for the 21st Century he was.

I can write better than Rennie without a pen.

Any day.
