In a previous message Alan Barnes said that this Dredd story could introduce to Dredd?s world a potential new recurring character. Designed by King Carlos no less!
Come on Gordon. Give us a clue. What?s it about. Is it set in the Meg?
Even the title Sturm und Dang sounds intriguing.

If I could work out a way to paste Carlos' original design sketch for the character here, and give you a big clue, I would.

It deffo has a look of Major Eazy about him.
Not that theres anything wrong with that!
Looking forward to a potential series already.
Also hope the Dante "cameo" (Club Sov?) is worth the wait.

Oh yeah - very Major Eazy. He doesn't drive a classic car around the Cursed Earth, does he? ;-)
Don't recognise the armour designs, but the eagle markings on the shoulder pads look a lot like the ones you see in Dredd.
Anyway, looks good & I'm looking forward to finding out more in next months Meg.

Never caught Major Eazy the first time around- but this looks like a pretty good place for info...

Yeah, that's Major Eazy. At the end of his stint in Battle he was whisked away to appear in 2000AD by alien entertainers to fight in the arena. But being a bone-idle sod they dumped him in the Cursed Earth.

Man, that is a cool picture.
I reckon he's some kind of Cursed Earth Marshall or something.

I'd heard that Ezquerra wanted to resurrect Eazy - I guess this is the next best thing!

...Not to mention the aviation goggles.
The pads, badge & gloves back up the Justice Dept link.

I think the winged badge thing is just a standard Justice Department emblem.
It (or something very similar) has certainly appeared before, and not in anything to do with pilots.

Is that a Justice Dept regulation polka-dot railroad tie he's wearing?
oh, and shouldn't he have a fag in that mush or at least a toothpick?
GRennie, tell us this is not one of the bits o' artwork you burnt ;)

Ah, dang it is, then.
I'm sure all will be revealed.
Y'know, this is possibly the most fun we've ever had here with a single sketch, including Flint's lesbian women and Jock's minimalist Dredd.
Praise be to Carlos!
