Dear Paul,

I think it is five writers to make their debut since the last year with Future Shock and Tales of Terror.

Ben Counter
Pete Gurr and Simon Gurr
Andrew Lewis
Gary Simpson
John Soanes

But I don't know if they are insolicited submissions

Dear Col. Marbles,

Carey has work for Vertigo since a couple of years. Before 2000AD, I believe.

It is not normal, most droids make the opposite travel ;-)

Dear scojo,

do you say you have written the screenplay for a Dredd film? I did not think there would be another after Stallone. Is it true or a joke?

C

Dear Oddboy,

thank you for your advise. I don't want to make a nuisance on the message board. Now I know to be careful with scojo.

It reminds me, I read an essay in comic strip form in an old fanzine (Vicious, 1994) which talked of Dredd's helmet drawn differently by different artists. May be the author should update it with Frazer's helmet!

C

YOU tell ME to get my facts right? My God!

Here are some facts, because you contradict yourself freely and ignore details so you can make a argument.
- I did never say it was you who originally used the term 'dustbin'. I quoted you in post 1519.2110000000 saying 'And the dustbin look is THE original look'. Look back, it is what you said.
-  I  did never say  Dredd wears a goldfish bowl
- I  did never say  Dredd didn't wear a biker's helmet.

I corrected your false claim that 'the dustbin look is THE original look' and because of your argumentative technique and inattention I must since make two posts to clarify my sentiment.

Why do you make a argument for no cause, scojo? It was you who said 'the dustbin look is the original look'. I showed the original helmet has not the cylinder shape like a dustbin but more spheric. I did not speak of goldfish.

Also, you do not have the right to say 'Frazer's helmet is just wrong'. You are not the editor of 2000AD. If you don't like it, that is your opinion but to say the vision of one artist is wrong and one is correct is ridiculous.

It is an ugly thing to believe you are always correct about everything, scojo. Just because you write 'I'm sorry but that is the truth' does not make it true. Why you don't be polite and say 'In my opinion', or better 'in my humble opinion'?

"I prefer that look. And the dustbin look is THE original look to be fair. "

Not true, Scojo. Mcmahon was the first Dredd artist in 2000AD publish. Mcmahon and Gibson make the helmets spheric *before* the dustbin cylinder.

Look at the top image on this link.

Dear Frazer,

In France, the comics are called 'the ninth art'. Only in United Kingdom is less status for artists of the comics.

Dear message board,

OK, I must leave you, my friends. This is the last week that I can visit the studio of my friend who has this computer.

I will still read the Galaxy's Great Comic but I will not have the power to visiter this site. What shame, because the new website design looks so well!

It is also sad that I have not viewed the prog this week, but I have seen the preview. It is good that the cover is of the story this week, but it is bad that Killer has not been cancelled! Tant pis!

Au revoir, tout le monde!

Dear 2000AD message board,

Wow! This is the good cover from Cliff Robinson! You cannot see if he has no sex, like Robinson Judges normally.
But I am not satisfied! It is not relevant to the story. Me, I prefer the covers with the story.

Ok, Dredd is not as good as Couch Potatoes (my God! To say the Dredd of Wagner not as good as Rennie!) but still I enjoyed. Gibson now is very cartoon. In the days past, he would signature this Emberton or Q.Twerk and save Gibson for less cartoon. Still, it is charming.
Sinister Dexter, a good slice of gun shark life. Fantastic art from Frazer Irving! I have seen now Necronauts, A Love Like Blood, Judge Karyn in the Megazine and Sinister Dexter. Is there anything he cannot make?

Future Shock. Steve Moore wrote Abslom Dalek and this? That was good, but this is very poor. The ending, where is the irony, the premonition? Tricking young women into sex and sex slavage is amusing? I don't think so. But the art is less confusing than Sex Machine.

I avoid Killer until I master my gag reflex.

Anderson is more interesting this week. I have a theory about the monkey.

amiti?s,

Christophe.

Dear 2000AD message board,

I want to write Couch Potatoes is the more funny Dredd I have read this year! It made me laugh better than Helter Skelter. A very brillant idea, well executed.

More than the other writers Gordon Rennie has captured the sensation of the Dredd of Wagner. With Robbie Morrison you can feel it is not Wagner straight away (always the sad children in his Dredd stories!) and Ennis - crazy! But with Rennie, it  consitently does not feel different to Wagner.

Good art from Cliff Robinson. In effect, the art in this week is better than the last week. Apart from Killer. When I read Killer I have vomit leaking through my fingers.

In the avertisement for the megazine, is that Anderson? Why does she have a wookie on the head? I will find out today when I get my copy...

amicalement,

Christophe

Dear 2000AD message board,

I hope it is OK to make critique for my first text. I want to speak about the art in this prog. Future Shock, Sinister Dexter, Killer and Anderson are all bad.

I like to see black and white art because it is bold and powerful, like Dave Gibbons or Frazer Irving, but Ian Richardson and Johnson/Roach make it so flat! It sometimes is difficult to see the story in the images and is not exciting. There is no depth, the forgeound is light and background figures are silhouette. Crazy. Future Shock page 3 is like a tapestrie, a flat very occupied pattern.

Sinister Dexter, in the text Dexter says the car is red but the car is blue. The wrong car is red! The scene in the alley is difficult to see the story, you have to stop reading the text to understand the images. Anderson, her body is lumpy. Why does she have a fat ass? There is no movement, it is like a photo-roman (strip with photographs instead of art).

But Judge Dredd is very good, beautiful painting like America. Stories are good in Dredd, Anderson and Future Shock, also.

amiti?s,

Christophe.
