30-plus years on, those Sov Judge names continue to be Total Cringe.
But thank goodness he fixed a minor story logic glitch absolutely nobody cared about.

Quote from: JayzusB.Christ on 04 January, 2024, 09:28:00 PMThat helmetless, face-changed Dredd from the very early progs was based on some actor too, iirc? Can't remember who though, or find the image.
Quote from: nxylas on 19 December, 2023, 06:06:28 PMI notice you didn't mention Judge Dredd, a much more ambiguous example. Whilst it's obvious to me that John Wagner never intended Dredd to be a "hero" in the conventional sense, I can see why some have interpreted it as a pro-fascist strip. I think the people who have written Dredd over the years have sometimes taken it for granted that people would disagree with Mega-City One's authoritarian politics.

The Siku Christianity thing - well, you learn something new every day. Lucky he wasn't given that Robin Goodfellow one to paint. Definite burn-in-hell material there.

Maybe some of the concepts might work, but mostly I felt like the stories had legs in and of themselves for 2000 AD. Probably not taking over the whole Prog, but one of them now and again running as a full series could be good.Would deffo like to see more Indiana Easy.

Raiders of the Lost Ark came out in 1981.
Quote from: Hawkmumbler on 20 September, 2023, 08:15:40 AMAnother successful example of what I have come to term 'The Chum & Switch" where Shark either overtly or (more likely) vaguely yet not so subtly implies an argument for one things (apparently in this instance deep state agents are paradropping into Maui to kidnap up to a thousand children to ensnare into indentured sex work) and when he gets push back dials it back to being apparently about an entirely different matter(s) and leans on a wobbly understanding of clauses and shady web links.
Must be a day ending in Y.

As far as I know, no — it's not like the zombie specials, where there was an overarching plot.
