Listen , Ive got nothing against the current anderson writer. I just want a change, that's all.We see different artists drawing Dredd all the time so how about we share some love to Anderson. Lets see what she would look like if Simon Coleby drew her.

I think the Anderson artist is indeed due to change anyway, at the end of the current story arc.

But it just doesn't look good anymore. In smaller doses it's fine but really I couldn't care less about the last couple of Anderson stories and part of that is to do with the artwork.
Maybe I'm just used to being spoiled by the artwork of artists like Book Cook and Colin McNeil?
With a gap witha story being done by someone else it might be fine but I guess as the storylines seem to have been blurred together that wasn't possible. Mind you it just means I can ignore all the current storylines which might be just as well.

I think the color might be part of the problem, it kinda makes the strip seem...off.
Maybe they should leave ranson's art B&W for a change.

I love ransons art, and also dave taylor & simon coleby,
for me the character of anderson is a bit tired, shes kind of done it all & got dull in her middle age... feck, that sounds familiar. She just lacks kick-assness, she lacks spookie wierdness, she lacks inner demons, shes just a sort of resigned to lifes crappness in a slightly sad humourous comments & plodding alongness. i would have expected , someone to be as psychicly powerful as her, & to have faught the battles she has, to have some serious OOOmpf, or personality issues, or benign cosmic holyiness, but she, well i can picture her doing the housework, & watching tele with a nice glass of wine.
i need my older women characters to be BLACKKKKKKKK & seriously edgy....for some strange reason.

Perhaps if we ask her very, very nicely she'd sketche it for us? ;)
I know I'm being cheeky - But any excuse to see Bou's art!
Oh, and I love Ranson's work! But then, I don't see the problem with Anderson in the first place, so maybe I'm not qualified to comment...

A scanner is an unorthodox mode of transportation,I grant you, but with the lateness of trains nowadays, you'll get to the station with six months to spare*
*this approximation is based just on my my experience of train journeys in the estuary part of England (i.e the Home counties, but people outside those aforementioned shires have a tendency to go all growly calling Herts,Beds,Bucks etc that)
I wouldn't know if train journeys are better or worse in the Highlands-you might have to contend with giant Yetis, evil wild cats and mighty Loch monsters on the tracks- but we've got leaves- evil malisious train stopping leaves

Bou - as ever, that is utterly fantastic. If you sell more of your work on ebay before offering it to me first then I'm going to have to become a professional art thief in order to get my hands on some.
Seriously though, thanks for doing that, as it's really helped to make me feel a bit better today when I'm feeling incredibly sick and low. As always, it's a pleasure to see any of your work.
"You just can't help yourself, can you Byron?"
Well, if you've got a book to sell, you're not going to get anywhere by keeping quiet about it. Frankly it's a bloody hard, and entirely thankless task, and you do it for the love rather than the non-existant money, but when you've got work as strong as that being produced by Rac and Bou - a book that I really believe in - it would be bloody criminal not to make the effort and give it the publicity that it deserves.

(And before anyone takes that boast seriously, it's a message board in-joke. Move along - nothing to see here.)
