Nice Lilly Mackenzie cover although I hope it doesn't encorage any yoofs to look in - we don't want their kind here.

Not read much yet but a lush Dredd with Dylan Teague art, a colourful Black Museum and a Mean Machine filled bonus book.

Thankfully there is no Tom Prodfoot letter blemishing Dreddlines, mainly due to one insightful and sensitive reader taking up the whole third column. Lovely.

Absolutely marvellous artwork all round here. Smudge impressed more than the last time I encountered his (her?) stuff - the Lowlife story in the christmas prog; just as Dante ends we get more sublime stuff from Fraser; Dylan Teague's Dredd just oozed confidence and style, reminding me of Bolland with a touch of Ian Gibson's colouring here and there (couple of panels almost looked like coloured pencils, in a good way); and then finally PJ just blew me away with Johnny Woo. I am in love with PJ. His last TOTBM which was B&W apart from the excellently handled minimal use of green is here repeated only we get the occasional splash of blood red - just superb.

Time to give the Meg another try, I think, after an exile of six months or more. Is Tank Girl gone for good now or merely on another hiatus?

Gone for good, AFAIK - it's been replaced with Lily Mackenzie.

I've always thought of Dylan Teague as a nice enough, workman-like artist but the Dredd strip in this month's Meg just blew me away!

He's stepped up his game to a ridiculous extent. It's so lush and real, I feel like I'm IN Mega City 1.
Raised in the wild by sarcastic wolves.

Previously known as L*e B*tes. Sshhh, going undercover...

I gave up the Meg a few issues ago but if Dylan is in this issue I may have to go to my local thrill merchant and get a copy.

I've always liked Dyl's work and have said so on many occasions here and to him (although when I say it to him I'm usually taking the piss out of his speed and over self deprecation of his own work) I always believed that he could be one of Tharg's finest.

Can someone tell me the names and tell me the names of the people who got letters printed?

Thanks, Will.
They say you need to spend money to make money, well I've never made any money so by that logic I've never spent any.

All the artwork in this months Meg is sublime. It really stood out. None of it was just adequate or just good. Teagues lines looked a little looser and less 'Bolland' than previously but in a good way. A criminally underused artist imo. Good strips, good articles, good Meg all round.

Hi Will,
The letters are from:

Ian Brown, North Wales
Jeremy Beebe, Kansas City
Michael Crouch, Norfolk
Paul Harris, via email
And some newcomer called Stephen Watson, from Paisley

It is indeed! Very chuffed I am too. I did Dylan a tiny favour and that was my reward! Huzzah's another tick in the personal goal chart!
