Title: Saturday Dredds in colour
Post by: maryanddavid on 09 May, 2021, 11:18:40 PM
I have collected a good few of these and I'm looking for help!
Some of the Saturday Dredd appeared in colour, and the majority of the colouring is very good, I would suspect that Ron Smith did both art and colour.

I know of two from 1983, and then in 1986 there is more, the numbers I have are

228
233-242
243 is B&W
(244 I don't have, but I know is in colour)
245
246
248
249 is B&W
250
252
253
254
255 is B&W

Has anyone anymore in colour?

I suspect Tom Frame did the colour - but that's because Tom Frame is my go-to droid for uncredited colour in the pre-painted art era.

231 - Q Here - in the Daily Dredds collection was reprinted in grayscale, which suggests it would have run in colour originally.

Your right , but that's not 231, that's one of the two from 1983 that I have in  colour!
