I do remember "Aiieee! Spider!" from the early Judge Dredd story You Bet Your Life.

Wow! I just looked it up and you're right. Never seen that before. Very 90's.

To quote Kent Brockman (who was talking about the '60s), "what a shrill, pointless decade that was".

I haven't seen the film yet, but calquing it onto current red state/blue state geography would be a lazy and obvious option, and doesn't seem to be what Garland is interested in.

Assuming they can accommodate the monarch's head and denomination

The ears might be a problem.

Possibly a bit more Lord Flashheart.

Woof woof!

Where is this from?

Judge Dredd Annual 1981

I knew I'd seen it before, I just couldn't remember where.

I feel this is pertinent...

Where is this from? I trust the editorial droid who spelled Garry Leach's and Brett Ewins' name wrong was set to Mek-Quake.

kind of a well-spoken but forceful posh lad.

Now you've made me think of Hugh Laurie in Blackadder Goes Forth ("Permission to shout hurrah very loudly sir!")

Has Uncle Pat ever said who Nemesis sounds like? I know he's fond of putting voices to his characters (usually Robert Mitchum's).

I agree that the Terror Tale felt like a backdoor pilot. And did they have to call the mysterious organisation Herne, when we already have the Herne and Shuck stories?

I should say that my comment was meant tongue in cheek. It wasn't really an existential crisis.

I really hate today. It's not the despair, it's the hope.

As opposed to the Bogie Man TV movie, which sees Coltrane at the very bottom of his game.

The "he doesn't want some young hothead out to make an impression" explanation is the one that makes most sense to me.

I always thought Steve Gerber would have been a good fit for 2000AD if they could get him. He had that off-kilter, satirical sensibility. I'm not that familiar with Doug Moench's work, but I understand that he was friends with Alan Grant, and that AALN-1 thought highly of him.
