So now we know whose phizog is under the helmet. Why yes, kiddies, it's none other than TV's Tom Baker!

No mystery as to whom Rico looks like, then. . .

John Wagner has said he regrets the Vienna story line, citing 'Dredd's impossible niece' as being the reason for this. 'The Mega-History' also makes the same mistake, asking how Rico could possibly father a daughter while serving his twenty years on Titan.

But if one reads 'Vienna', she's obviously only a few years old at most. It's therefore not inconceivable she was herself conceived at some point during Rico's return to Mega-City One prior to his showdown with Joe.

As to what happened to her, well I could say but that would spoil the surprise.

Not that I want any of you thinking I'm currently in the process of writing a proposal featuring Ms. Dredd.

It means nothing to me. 'Ooh, Vienna. . .'

Perhaps Glenn was referring to his pre-2000 AD work. It certainly didn't have the realism of 'Slaine'.

Still waiting for the sequel, mind. Y'know, summat along the lines of those aliens Vizzy was going on about helping yer man revenge himself on the rest of us.

I think you'll find that particular 'Time Twister' was written by one Alice Morgan.

Just had a thought. What with the 'Dredd / Batman' crossovers, there must be hundreds of DC and Marvel titles that can be linked to. . .

Ouch. Brain collapse.

If I had a coconut, it would be yours. In fact, I probably owe you the entire shy as 'Pussyfoot 5' is a little after my time. But yes, the futuristic profanity was what I had in mind, 'Tyranny Rex' sharing the same cusses as John Smith's Nu Earth flashback, 'Rogue Trooper' apparently linked somehow to Dredd.

I'm thinking tenuous, I'm thinking 'Dan Dare' and 'Tyranny Rex'. But how so?

Well, let's see you work that out for yourselves.

PVS, that's who. For fielding my drunken ramblings earlier this morning. Sobriety, and hopefully my ability to spell, have resumed once more.

As for Mr. Ennis, my name-checking him was merely a means of dating my leaving the fold. I'm currently reading 'Preacher' for the first time and am thoroughly enjoying it, thank you very much.

Prise The Lard.

Sad but true. The world out there simply doesn't care.

Which is probably a good thing.

Y'know, the other day I was re-reading 'The Last American' and it occurred to me that, despite his appearance, it's still possible to use Dredd as a commentary on that very world out there. As proved by 'America' and the various other democracy story lines.

Ah, but is the Batman really a superhero? Or just a costumed crimefighter? Does Bruce go out and fight crime because he's better than us or because he's a little deranged due to the fact his parents were killed in cold blood before his very eyes?

I think I said something similar on Thread 572. 'Validation' is a very good way of encapsulating it. Yes, I would like to see Dredd reaching a bigger audience but on the condition it remains true to the essence of what Dredd is. The Stallone film completely missed the point. Dredd is to all intents and purposes a fascist. And when Rebellion refers to him as a superhero I think it shows, to be polite, a slight misunderstabnding on their part as to how the character is generally perceived.

The very same. I was trying to live up to me name, you understand. Y'know, 'Flashman' and 'exposure'. Clever, huh? Or maybe I was just too drunk to spell Fleischer
