Any one got a double? Prog 2146.

Hi all

Just filling in the gaps in my collection and I noticed I'm missing this. I've looked everywhere with no luck.

Very happy to buy a copy if anyone has a spare.

Morning team

As I get older I find my ability to retain information about the stories in the prog is waning. I used to read the prog religiously every week three or four times. These days with a family and job to think about a stolen five minute scan of the prog is more accurate. Consequently I'm lost when it comes to the plots and the relationships in all of the stories. I keep on promising myself that I will sit down and reread various stories from the beginning so I can remember who everyone is. I did this before and it really helped my enjoyment of the strips. I reread Nikolai Dante from the beginning before the final series so I could really appreciate what was going on.

With Henry Flints return to the regular Dredd continuity in the new Rob Williams Dredd I have decided to reread all Dredd stories which would help explain what is going on. I'm assuming reading things like Lowlife and Trifecta and Titan would help but is there a complete list of stories I should be choosing to read to give the fullest picture?

I'd be happy to see some more one off Dredds by Garth Ennis (or anyone for that matter)

Brilliant thank you!

This is a daft question but how do you search someone with the name John Smith on Facebook?

Very very glad to hear he's doing well.

Obviously I know it's nobody's business but his own. I think I'd grown accustomed over the years to John writing stuff and then going quiet. I was just checking that whilst I'd been away from the board nothing awful had happened. No offence meant.

Afternoon

I haven't looked or posted on the forum for years so I hope everyone is doing well.

I'm sure I must have missed the discussion but I was wondering how John Smith was doing considering he is no longer writing Devlin Waugh.

Is he suffering from ill health? Has he retired.

If this is a sensitive issue I don't mind if someone wants to pm me as I don't want to cause upset etc.

Cheers

Quick question. Did anyone else's copy of Cursed Earth Carnage have duplicate pages of Citi-Def instead of the first pages of Sleeze and Ryder?

Not that bothered to read Sleeze an Ryder but preferred it to Citi-Def.

Just checked out the Cursed Earth Carnage cover which uses art which was initially used for the cover of Meg 280 by Anthony Williams for the strip Citi-Def. IMO its an odd choice.

I think something from Helltrekkers should have been used. For all its faults the strip was by Wagner and Grant and ran for 29 weeks in the comics first golden age. The strip with moody art from Ortiz and Lalia helped define the look of the Cursed Earth.

Citi-Def is a chiefly forgotten strip which ran for five episodes which Anthony Williams didn't even draw.

I'm assuming, therefore there was a problem with how the Helltrekker art looked when mocked up.

Unless I'm barking up the wrong tree!

I'd be interested to know the reasoning behind this design choice either way.

Apologies if this is a stupid question but when is Helltrekkers released? I can't see it on the wiki or on the forthcoming releases list above.

The Boar burger in the Palace is recommended.  Lots of lovely mulled wine/cider to put you into a winter frame of mind.

If anyone's selling one please let me know and I'll have it!!

I think thats when I saw them and now I can't find an image on google.

Ever so slightly off topic but does anyone know when the round Judge Dredd/2000ad stickers where issued that Steve has decorated his books with?

I want to try and buy one off ebay but I'm struggling to even find them on google images
