News / Judge Dredd: Crime Chronicles - New From Big Finish!
22 July, 2009, 01:39:58 PM
NEW FROM BIG FINISH...
JUDGE DREDD: CRIME CHRONICLES
Doctor Who's Leela helps fight crime!
Big Finish makes a long-awaited return to the 2000 AD universe in October for a brand new series of adventures in crime and space. Judge Dredd: Crime Chronicles finds the iconic lawman of Mega City One starring in four new stories where he faces off against foes old and new and, for the final story, partners up with a fellow Judge played by Doctor Who's Louise Jameson. Officially licensed by Rebellion, each story is a dramatic reading, with full sound design and a specially drawn cover by 2000 AD artist Cliff Robinson, and features Toby Longworth as Judge Dredd.
The series begins with Stranger Than Truth by David Bishop and told by Brit-Cit academic, Eliza Blunt (Helen Kay). Captured and imprisoned by Judge Dredd, author Truman Kaput has spent years in the Mega City One iso-cubes, his work banned. His crime: writing lurid detective novels in which the ficticious Slick Dickens repeatedly outwits the cowardly bully, Judge Dredd. Now a new Truman Kaput novel is being serialised, and each chapter predicts an imminent murder with chilling accuracy. Has Slick Dickens escaped the page to commit real crimes in Mega-City One? Is a serial killer using the chapters as templates for
their crime? Where does fiction end and the truth start? Can Dredd stop the plot before his nemesis fulfils the finale of Slick Dickens: I Killed Judge Dredd?
In Blood Will Tell by James Swallow, a frenzied mutant attack on Mega-City One's shield wall is revealed to be the cover for a group of infiltrators. Judge Dredd tells the story of how he was forced to face a deadly opponent from his past: Garris Hale, a man whose life he destroyed. Back from exile in the radioactive wilderness of the Cursed Earth, Hale has possession of a dark secret – a secret so explosive that it could plunge the entire city into anarchy and chaos! With his judgement in question and the future of his city in the balance, Dredd must face a lethal enemy intent on revenge at any cost...
The third tale, The Devil's Playground by Jonathan Clements, is narrated by Wendy Plainfolk (Gemma Wardle) and finds Judge Dredd hunting a killer on the loose, his only lead a girl who's never seen the sky or the streets. Raised in a religious commune, locked in a closed farming habitat in the heart of the city, Wendy Plainfolk knows nothing of the temptations and dangers of Dredd's world. But she is the only link to a double homicide in a place she calls the Devil's Playground: Mega-City One.
Finally, much-loved Doctor Who alumnus Louise Jameson (Leela) narrates James Swallow's Double Zero in the guise of Judge Anderson. On the Mills-Wagner scale of psychic potentiality, the Double Zero rating is ranked as the lowest possible level of human telepathic receptability and/or psionic ability. When a strange premonition draws Psi-Judge Cassandra Anderson to her fellow law officer, Joe Dredd, what begins as an inkling of something sinister soon becomes a matter of life and death. With telepathic secret agents from a dozen city-states infiltrating the Big Meg in search of a psychic weapon called 'the pariah', Anderson and Dredd find themselves in a race against time to save the life of an innocent child – with the power to start a war...
Judge Dredd: Crime Chronicles begins in October and is released monthly until January, priced £9.99 per CD and £7.99 for an MP3 download.
Both are available from www.bigfinish.com

...at least according to the Daily Telegraph:

'As with the production of motorcycles, we once led the world in such weekly publications. Now we are almost unique among western nations in having none at all on the news stands.'
Nice to see that journalistic research being put to such good use. Feel free to point out a certain omission to the White humanoid...

Prog / Re: A message from the writer of STALAG 666
22 October, 2008, 02:15:41 PM
I have to say that in the eight years that I've been working on 2000 AD I've never heard of any contributor receiving anything like this before, and I'm shocked that someone out there could possibly consider posting hate mail as acceptable behaviour.
If the person responsible is reading this, let me just reiterate: It's a comic. They're just stories. Get some help.
