He was the actor who Cal asked to play Judge Dredd in the story of his life.

I think he turned up on a Mega City version of the Word in the Muzik Killer.

The latest Previews has this to say about things to come.

I'm just glad Savage is fighting Volgans and not the EEC as suggested on this board following EE3.

Hope Lowlife is good. I kind of get sick of Conspiracies in stories.

I was actually playing devil's advocate with this post.

Replace Slaine with Strontium Dog and you'll realise what I'm on about.

The recent Slaine stories - set AFTER the demise of Slaine - have been largely well received.

However I think when a character is "killed off" by a writer, dead should mean dead.

I think it takes a brave writer to tackle the death of a major character, and the epic HORNED GOD was a marvellous end to an era.

This finalised things very nicely indeed - rest in peace Slaine; respect to Pat Mills.

One or two retro Slaine strips are OK - such is the versatile world of celtic warriors - but I would hate to see such a top fantasy character (and a now dead one at that) bled dry for the sake of familiar ground.

Next he'll be popping up in the passenger seat of Steve McQueen's Ford Puma!

Do they have a healthy choice of TPBs each time or is it all Sci Fi Novels?

We've all seen these pamphlets inside the Galaxy's Greatest ( Not available to overseas readers ) advertising everything from Star Wars/Star Trek/Buffy novels to 2000ad graphic novels.

I was wondering has anyone ever joined the club. I don't live near a comic shop so I have sometimes toyed with the idea but I've always been scared off with the 'must buy at least one book from four catalogues clause'. My fear is that the choice would be limited to said Star Wars/Star Trek/Buffy novels and there would be no graphic novels to choose.

Anyone care to help?

Any chance anyone wants to scan in the Jock debut?

If Dom was influenced by Fegredo it looks like Jock was a fan of Dean Ormston circa Raptaur.

I didn't like to mention the funny angle one of his fingers seemed to be at. But know you have...

I would but I've got no access to a scanner.

Now I'm not sure if this counts as an actual debut or not but according to this site Dom's debut was Prog 1281 ( 6th March 2002 ) HOWEVER in the 2000ad Sci Fi Special 18 ( 1st July 1995 ) there was a Slaine pin up with the legend Debut Art by Dom Reardon written on it.

Can anyone shed any light on this. Was it a portfolio piece that Tharg liked?

Interestingly it is in colour and it bares the influence of Duncan Fegredo if I'm not mistaken.

The boy lent back in his chair and chuckled at what he had just written on his computer.

"This story is bonkers", he thought "It's like Monty Python..on Acid".

Marv shook his head and came to his senses. No point thinking about the past, Nimian was stood in front of him here and now.

The first that they you knew he was approaching was when the munce plants failed to grow and instead withered in the ground. Next the animals became spooked and the dreams started.

Marv thought back to the last time he'd seen the old man. Marv still had a wife and child then and things had been looking good for him in the Cursed Earth township of New Hope.

The droid was going to ruin the deal if he didn't calm down thought Marv. He looked over his shoulder and saw the casino's security droids were already eyeing the droid and himself suspiciously.
