I always thought Steve Gerber would have been a good fit for 2000AD if they could get him. He had that off-kilter, satirical sensibility. I'm not that familiar with Doug Moench's work, but I understand that he was friends with Alan Grant, and that AALN-1 thought highly of him.

Quote from: A.Cow on 27 March, 2024, 10:21:14 PMNah, Dredd inferred his logic earlier in the story: a heatseeker would have done the job.  I don't think he's impressed by showboating; he wants someone who knows their duty.
Nothing impresses the Judge.

Judge Dredd slowly begins to realise that aspects of his own history aren't quite how he remembers them. No one believes him until Psi Division start picking up on the changes to reality. It would appear that someone has been altering the past, but whom and for what purpose?
A double pun, I like it.

Quote from: Richard on 24 March, 2024, 06:51:41 PMNoam Chimpsky was fun, but I don't think I need any more talking ape stories, it's been done to death (by him and others). I'd rather see Niemand doing new stuff.


Too many intelligent ape stories... too many... TOO ... MANY... nope sorry not sure I understand that.

THERE CAN NEVER BE TOO MANY TALKING APE STORIES...

...ever...
This seems like a good place to plug the revived Zarjaz, the first issue of which features an Ape Gang story written by me (don't know who the artist will be yet). Also, Brian Bolland has said that he wants to draw Noam Chimpsky, so look out for that some time around 2035.

Quote from: Dash Decent on 23 March, 2024, 11:01:37 AMConsidering that this is all as lame as "Judge Dredd: Regicide", my new suggestion for the identity of Ken Niemand has to be Arthur Wyatt & Rob Williams.  I don't know if anyone else has suggested that he could be more than one person, but remember: Niemand is an island.
I think it's pretty well established at this point that Mr Nobody is not an existing 2000AD script droid, and that the only reason he uses a pseudonym is to distinguish his comics work from his work in other media.

Quote from: JayzusB.Christ on 21 March, 2024, 06:43:09 PMWell, he was only a slip of a lad back then, writing into a Saturday morning kids' show and hoping for his first real grown-up record.


He was twenty eight years old.
And then he got off the bus, aaah.

What was the joke? Please tell me it went on for about 20 minutes and ended with him insulting the audience for laughing at it.

Quote from: Funt Solo on 20 March, 2024, 09:10:06 PMGiven Mills' notorious temperament, it's useful to hear both sides of that story.
It's always useful to get more than one perspective, regardless of temperament. I should add that when I asked her many years ago at a con, knowing none of this backstory, why she didn't draw more Slaine, the answer she gave me was quite different. She said that she was unhappy with the level of violence, and preferred Ukko to Slaine anyway. But this may have been a cover story she came up with because she didn't want to talk about it.

I think Pat said in Kiss My Axe that she wasn't used to the way comics worked, and the idea of having one of her panels completely redrawn in her style by Robin Smith was completely incomprehensible to her.

I've been saying this for ages. She did a couple of Third World War episodes in Crisis, but I think she's one of those artists, like Brian Bolland, whose work looks better in black & white.

Quote from: IndigoPrime on 15 March, 2024, 07:46:34 PMYeah, I imagine Commando isn't going to appeal to that many kids. As for Toxic, I just had a look on Readly. Its most recent two issues has all of three pages of comics – all reprint from Monster Fun.
Trying to resist the obvious gag about how they should bring back The Driver and Accident Man.

Quote from: norton canes on 13 March, 2024, 12:06:51 PMKind of surprised there wasn't official confirmation in the Nerve Centre that Regened has come to an end (if indeed it has)
Having read all of this thread, are we saying it hasn't actually finished? :eh:
We're jumping to conclusions based on some circumstantial evidence.
Having said that, I wouldn't expect an announcement in the Nerve Centre. I imagine it would be quietly dropped.

(Correctly formatted version, not sure what happened above).

Quote from: JayzusB.Christ on 11 March, 2024, 07:18:59 PMI thought it was considered a swear word over this side of the pond too.
It is, but a relatively mild one, or was. Red Dwarf had the "let's get out there and twat it" line, and although it was on after the watershed, most of the home video releases were rated PG.
