I haven't seen arms that long since I last read something illustrated by Alan Davis.

Incredible SF action from the Eisner-nominated UK anthology!

Plus Judge Dredd encounters horror in the dark in "Iron Teeth"!

What age is Armitage? I mean, he first appeared in 1991, and he was grizzled enough back then. He must be.....in his 80s now?

I always thought there was more than a whiff of Sweeney-era John Thaw about Armitage, and Thaw was only 32 (!) at the start of The Sweeney's run.

I think Thaw-as-Morse was cited as a specific influence on the strip, and Morse was huge on TV at that time. Thaw was about fifty at this point.

In Flashback, Armitage is in his 20s in or around the year 2080, which in 2146 would make him in his 80s or possibly 90s.

I've always wondered what his accent would be, gruff obviously, but is he a Mancunian?

So far I have not seen or even heard a mention of any regen progs this year.

The first one last year was at the end of March. Have we seen solicits beyond that point then?

I remember that... but Armitage always seemed a bit more likely to give someone a smack in the gob than a direct Morse-analogue would, hence leaning more towards Regan in my head!
