Possibly a bit more Lord Flashheart.

Woof woof!

Where is this from?

Judge Dredd Annual 1981

I knew I'd seen it before, I just couldn't remember where.

I feel this is pertinent...

Where is this from? I trust the editorial droid who spelled Garry Leach's and Brett Ewins' name wrong was set to Mek-Quake.

kind of a well-spoken but forceful posh lad.

Now you've made me think of Hugh Laurie in Blackadder Goes Forth ("Permission to shout hurrah very loudly sir!")

Has Uncle Pat ever said who Nemesis sounds like? I know he's fond of putting voices to his characters (usually Robert Mitchum's).

I agree that the Terror Tale felt like a backdoor pilot. And did they have to call the mysterious organisation Herne, when we already have the Herne and Shuck stories?

I should say that my comment was meant tongue in cheek. It wasn't really an existential crisis.

I really hate today. It's not the despair, it's the hope.

As opposed to the Bogie Man TV movie, which sees Coltrane at the very bottom of his game.

The "he doesn't want some young hothead out to make an impression" explanation is the one that makes most sense to me.

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.

Nah, 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.

Noam 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.

Considering 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.
