[don't stop the Judge Dredd Casefiles!]

Mechanismo books 1-3 (even though the art gets progressively worse with each series.)

Anderson Casefiles.

Al's Baby books 1-3.

Dredd - Deadringers.

But most importantly don't stop the Judge Dredd Casefiles!

I posted this about a week ago and didn't get a reply, anyone know?

"Tharg's newsround shows the new books for August including the Ezquerra collection. Looking at the cover I can see it credits Ezquerra, Flint, Wagner, Ennis and Rennie.

Flint? Surely they haven't put Helter Skelter in this collection? I really hope not, I'd have rather seen Inferno & Purgatory finally see print than this getting trotted out again. If 72 of my 240 pages are Helter Skelter I'll be miffed!

Anyone know what's in it?"

In fact, here is mine, took me about five minutes!

Yup, I use this with kids a lot in my job. They really enjoy it 'cos it's so much fun and I really enjoy it 'cos I get to do my big why comics are great introduction as well as showing off lots of my original artwork!

As well as the Mac version there is a PC version (still beta but I've not had any problems with it) which seems perfectly functional and well worth a download.

Give it a go and post up your results!

Sorry for posting this twice folks (it's also in the comic life thread) but I'm very proud of it!

But the thing i always wondered about the narcos lawgiver thing was,Why do they contract out?

Yeah, what does Tek Division actually do?

[Prog 226 Death Lives]

Aaaagh y'bastards, that's way too hard!

I have a few that have spring to mind, some of which I know aren't amazing now but just blew me away when I read them! It would be impossible to pick one so I'm going to list 'em all:

Prog 226 Death Lives - The Four Dark Judges double page splash, just amazing...

Dredd/Batman - Judgement on Gotham - Either the first full page of Batman as it's so moody or that full page of Dredd near the end which, I know is flawed, but at the time was just a jaw dropping moment in the book.

Judge Anderson: Childhood's End - I have honestly spent hours and hours staring at Kev Walker's painted artwork and the page where the professor get's spiked through the head made me recoil in shock when I first saw it. I own that page now! While I'm on about Kev Walker, there are many, many pages from his stint on ABC Warriors that could be in here as his designs are so amazing!

Dredd: America - The first two pages here are stunning but I love page 11 - an oppressive full page where a little kid had dropped a freezy whip in front of a Judge who is giving him 'the stare'...

Greg Staples Loads of Greg's work blows me away. I love the image that the Dredd vs Death statue is based on, I love his poster prog cover and poster, his opening splash page from Innocents Abroad pt 4 and of his many stunning covers, his Dredd face cover of prog 1273 is hard to beat.

Misc Brashill's Shimura and a gazillion arrows megazine cover and his Dredd:2120 cover, Jock's Dreddcon ads, double page prog 1450 cover and Meg 4.2 covers, Jim Murray's Pit Cover (prog 990) and his amazing Dark Judges Gatefold cover of Meg 3.35.

I need a lie down now! Oh and here's a scan of that Death Lives page for Mogzilla for starting this wonderful thread!

That getting naked for 2008 idea is great Cosh! And the logo is just brilliant Mike, it gave me a tingle when I saw it!

The standard of some of the entries in the August art competition was amazingly high and has got me thinking. For the October, November or December comp why don't we have a free for all where boarders send in 2000ad images. We could vote on the twelve best which could then be made into a nice downloadble calendar in pdf format or somesuch.

I'm aware that Rebellion are making a 2008 calendar (woohoo!) which I'll still be buying but I think this would make for a nice competition.

Thoughts?
