>Mr. Logan, would it be possible for you to scan the panel showing the robot midwives with the person the clones are cloned from?

Just got in after a long day, if no ones done it by the morning i'll sort it out.

Thank you kindly, sir.

I'll add my voice to the Dredd for Chief Judge cause. His desire to take a hands-on approach could be the source of lots of tension when he comes up against those who don't want him out on the streets for fear of his being assassinated, just to suggest one of the many possible storylines.

The new Rico is a cloned from Dredd.

Logan, are you sure about this?
From the picture you just posted it does imply that the sample was from Fargo...

Although, as far as I can tell there should be no genetic difference between a clone of a man & the clone of a clone of a man...

Without sounding to facicious.....

Fargo is rather Wagner-esque......

Curiously, I always think that picture of Fargo makes it look like he's wearing some kind of sailor's hat. I half expect to see him in a striped jumper as well.

Also, he appears that Rupert Murdoch (second from left) and Dame Edna's alter ego (far right) lived long enough to become top judges.

The Dredd Angel (Progs 377 to 383) story says that the Clone was of Fargo, but the flashbacks are taken from the mission brief given to Dredd by McGruder.
When we see 'Rico' in Blood Cadet (Progs 1186 to 1188) and he's giving his story to Dredd, Rico states that he was cloned from Dredd's DNA and Dredd wasn't told. The arguments can start about the DNA of man who was cloned from DNA of Fargo but it does alter the fact that if Wagner wants to he can skip around Chief Judge Silver?s 'Bloodline' report (File 12/4/J930) in the Judge Dredd Mega-Special No.3 (1990), in it he says

"...It was not long before we realised that the bloodline of Fargo was excellent, but potentially flawed."

Figured it might've been something like that, but my memory couldn't recall.

And the genetics point - well it's science isn't it, & this is a science-fiction comic, so whatever Wagner says is TRUE in Dredd's world.

So is this the face of Dredd? Or am I very mistaken?

Leigh S · 12 July, 2003, 12:05:19 AM

The face, but not the hairstyle....and Dredd plucks his eyebrows.

Misanthrope · 12 July, 2003, 12:08:41 AM

He also plucks his nostril hair, according to a 2000ad cover by Mick Austin.

Is it me, or do they all look really uncomfortable?
"...It was not long before we realised that the bloodline of Fargo was excellent, but potentially flawed. CLones showed an unacceptable predisposition towards piles."
