So we all know Dredd is meant to age in real time, but how old do we think Johnny Alpha is meant to be?
Strontium Dog, whilst being a strip that had appeared frequently, has not appeared anything like weekly, there were big gaps between the publication of books of the "Life and Death of Johnny Alpha" where the action followed on from the same point in the story, and he actually spent a big chunk of time being "dead"*.
So how much is he meant to have aged since his first appearance 40 or so years ago? I guess it is actually much less than 40 years.
*(Bizarrely supporting characters like Middenface don't seem to have aged any more, despite having lived through the whole period).
