What's Daily Star Dredd?

[Roger Simian]

Like I said in the title: what's Daily Star Dredd?

[Thread Zero]

You don't know?

Dredd arrested the Daily Star editor in a story, right?

He vowed revenge from his iso block.

And these are the stories.

Simple really.

Some people will tell you that the Daily Star Dredd were panel comic strips that were published in that newspaper in 1981.

Story by Wagner/Grant. Art by Ron Smith.

Then they will say they become shorter panel stories.

Then they will say they became continuous daily stories.

Then they will say they were axed.

I will say they are talking nonsense.

Ah, I feel satisfied - my thirst for knowledge quenched.

One other thing though.  Whatever became of Dredd's old landlady, Maria?

[Thread Zero]

Maria, ahhhhhhhhhh.

Sad case.

Dredd dispensed with her services and she became just another victim of the homelessness that blights Mega City One's poorer sectors.

Know as cardboard city.
Dredd discovered her as a bag lady and an alcoholic to boot.

He ordered her to seek medical attention.

She is currently residing in the Betty Ford clinic for used up comic characters!

That last line was a joke by the way.

As for Walter the robot, he too has had a chequered past.

Here we go, hold on to your breathe!

He became a free robot after the Robot wars, later destroyed by mean machine, rebuilt, then Dredd didn't want him anymore, then believed to have been destroyed during Necropolis, started his own robot business, went broke, started a small robot army to kill Dreddd, then sentenced to many years in the iso cubes by Dredd for his criminal activities, escaped during the Doomsday storyline, pleaded with Dredd to take him back and finally given to Mrs Gunderson as a lodger.

Hope that helps, Roger.

I meant breath, not breathe!

God I can't type.
