I think everyone here want's it to happen. Is there anything we can do collectively to support this endeavour and help make the TV show a reality ?

I would love some less expected volumes:
Mark Millar - Maniac 5 / Silo / Canon Fodder - can fill it up with future shocks
Chris Weston - Canon Fodder with Dredd/Rogue/Robo hunter stories that are not in the collections
Peter Doherty - Dredd volume
Peter Hogan - Robo Hunter and Timehouse
Garth Ennis - Time flies & Chopper (including the Martin Emond drawn one off)
Ron Smith - all the classic dredds that have been skipped

What I really want that will never happen is to have all the odds and ends of John smith stories that are missing to be collected - including the text stories. I don't know if that is enough for a volume but I want it anyway.

I don't think there's enough interest to warrant the expense.

Vagueness about rights + these kinds of stories get reprints because they already exist (bar scanning and any repro tidying)

It would depend on whoever wanting to publish it, prove it, then probably running a kickstarter to pay for everything else, that hitting the target etc.

Seems more trouble than its worth - more than Carlos changing Lobo out for the Bob the Galactic Bum story.

Cover: sort of last week's cover. This is happening a lot these days.

Fudge Bread vs. Mega-Shako: Dredd should take some advice from Vito Corleone - never tell your enemy what you're thinking! This also leads to a bit of a parsing crime (5 months cube-time, Williams!) with Dredd's unwieldy "I promise you this, however, creep: I will get you back to the city and you'll see the inside of a cube for what you've done." Parsing crimes aside, this is till solid gold.

Blackhawk: More parsing criminality here, but then it is hell. Perhaps Titivillus has bled over from the Megazine. "For fear is the true chains that keep us slaves"? I know, I know - you can't say "for fears are the true chains", and you can't say "fear is the true chain". Anyway, it was a tense moment for Spartacus, so we can forgive him. Unless we're Hannibal.

■■■■■: somehow some people meeting and walking through some hallways is thrillingly disturbing and works as a terrible cliffhanger full of foreboding for the horrors to come.

Periwinkle Supreme - entirely worth it for the "malignant Mr. Punch outbreak". (And as long as Depp's a balloon, we can carry on.)

Salamander Irk - even worse, emotionally, than Maitland! But is it as final as it looks?

---

In the pipe, five by five. And a win for Titivillus.

You could always get someone to redraw them.
