I'm not a particular fan of Harrison's work, but interviews suggest that, unsurprisingly, he's happiest drawing his own creation, The Out. Good for him.

Interesting point - beyond the Out and Glimmer Rats, Harrison has spent most of his time at 2000AD working on other people's characters. (Although his Durham Red trilogy is basically a new thing - vanishingly few parts of that relate to the original Strontium Dog, or even Strontium Dogs).

The Out really is very good, not least because of Harrison's imagination.

Harrison's work has the out-of-focus, uncanny quality of an early childhood memory, and I love it for that

Judge Dredd: Year Three - Paperback, 416 pages, 2nd February 2021

The third omnibus collecting three great brand-new novellas about the early years of iconic comics character Judge Dredd's career.

Mega-City One, 2082. In two short years, Judge Joe Dredd has tackled hardened killers and would-be revolutionaries, he's taken beat-downs and bounced back, he's even arrested his own brother.

Ain't no such thing as a "normal year" in the Big Meg. In his third year on the sked, he'll become embroiled in the growing anti-robot movement; he'll head back out to the Cursed Earth; and he'll fall afoul of the secretive SJS - and not for the last time...

When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Old age is the Lord's way of telling us to step aside for something new. Death's in case we didn't take the hint.

There's presumably a Universe out there where Rebellion released the bulk of these Treasury books first, and then started The Vigilant, once the reprints of these half-forgotten characters were mostly back in print...  We're in the bizarro version, where they did it the other way around.
