Here we go with another set of stories to cast your critical eye over - Some classics, some clunkers!

It would also help to boost the voting if you would vote on the other stories in the progs these links send you to.

First up is Robot Wars. No, not Craig Charles, but the very first Dredd Multiparter, which introduced Walter the Wobot on an unsuspecting public and rocketed Dredd to the top of the popularity charts.

Prog 1100 was an all Slaine special issue, featuring this story that heralded a run of 'lost' tales about Slaine's time as King. IMO the last great Slaine tale.

A contender for the best ever one part Dredd? Bolland and Wagner take care of a bunch of unruly punks, who have gotten too big for their safety pins after the chaos of Cal's rule!

I love Hoagy!

One of 2k's greatest characters.

Yup!

Day of the Droids is currently the top thrill - will it be able to hang on as long as Portrait of a Mutant did, or will some maniac come along and dislodge it with a low score (as happened to Portrait!). You can also vote now for Blackhawk and Fiends of The Eastern Front, which are now both on 4 votes by clicking here...

Though my memory is extremly poor, doesn't someone shoot someone else with a lawgiver that doesn't belong to them in this story. Then their hand entirely fails to be blown off?

Thread Zero · 24 December, 2001, 05:23:43 PM

Er....maybe, no way.....yes!

Take your pick.

scojo who can't remember either

Funnily enough I read it this week.

Actually, what happens is one of the bad judges makes it look like someone else's lawgiver is their own, so they don't have to give theirs away (and thus they use their own gun later on).

If that makes sense.

Have a good Christmas, by the way, gentlemen.
