That's Fan-dabby-dozy, Shaolin
good work

Out of interest how are you reading the early progs?
Have you got hard copies or does Tharg give you pdfs?

Blimey! That sets the bar high. I need to do some work.

Fantastic stuff!

[A Grudmas Carol]

Getting in early with a slice of Dickensiana.

A Grudmas Carol

A ghost stalks the streets of mega city one,
Her appearance fills my heart with dread.
She wears the marks of her former rank
And chains all around her bearded head.

As I tossed and turned in bed last night
She glided through my chamber door.
She told me I would be visited by three ghosts
First a spirit of mega-city from days before

Within the hour the phantom appeared
A blue skinned Judge with ghastly fangs
He told me tales from our city's past
Of whacky wobots and crazy punk rock gangs.

Of how we chased the flying surfers
And rescued creatures from an alien zoo.
The city was mostly black and white
But, oh, the things we used to do.

Then that blue ghost left me
As so many others have done before,
But soon I heard a fearsome knocking,
A ghostly rapping at my chamber door.

The second spirit of the night
Was gaunt and scarred and tall.
He showed me plague and apocalypse wars
And we watched the mega blocks fall.

I stood in the ruins of the here and now
Missiles flew and the bodies piled up high.
Chaos reigned over everything
And dark clouds filled the sky.

The last spirit I feared the most,
A cloaked figure who did not need to knock.
He showed me the city yet to be,
And delivered a future shock.

I saw the shape of things to come
As we learned how to live without him.
The city's defender no longer there,
A future dark and grim.

"Spirits!" I cried, "I've seen enough.
I know what we must do.
I'll make sure this Grudmas counts.
I will see this through."

And so I don my Chief Judge's shield
And I rise up from my bed.
To save my city I will tell the five
We have to clone Judge Dredd.



(Yes, I know there are already clones about )
