I think I get it... [spoiler]It's the High Rock, right?[/spoiler]

Nice one, Surf! I knew you wouldn't let us down!

Brilliant!

If anyone else would like the Dredd font, I've put it on-line at

Motor vehicle-related crimes:

Perps: Drivers who are blessed with the divine ability to navigate roundabouts without using their indicators. Granted, I expect it can be a little tricky to activate the indicators and steer with one hand (the other hand is occupied with their mobile phone). Many of these people are so good at driving they're allowed to use any lane they like.
Sentence: Revocation of licence and impounding of vehicle.

Perps: Motorists who, on sunny days, drive with one arm out the window in a manner that persons following could easily take to mean "I'm turning right at the next junction."
Sentence: Four weeks in a tanning booth (that's four weeks of seven days, twenty-four hours per day, with no breaks).

Perps: People who beep their car's horn to say good-bye, even if it's two o'clock in the morning. Any sane person would think that getting into the car and driving away is a strong enough indication that they're leaving, but the morons who beep their horns are clearly so full of their own self-importance that they think everyone in the neighbourhood won't mind being woken up in order to wish them a safe journey.
Sentence: Ten years in the cubes and a good hard kick in the nuts.

Hi Tweak,

I did my own version of the font a few years back. It's not perfect by any means - for some of the letters I had to kind of fudge it a bit, but for the most part it's come in pretty handy.

Send me a private message and I'll e-mail you a copy of the font (Windows True-Type format).

Cheers,
Mike

I wasn't tremendously impressed with the first episode so I didn't bother reading it after that and decided it'd be best to wait until it was finished and then read the whole story in one go.

Which is what I did two days ago. Now, there are a few comic scenes that'll stay with me forever: the ending of Strontium Dog: Rage, the death of Gwen Stacy, "I did it thirty-five minutes ago", the opening three pages of The Punisher: Welcome Back Frank, Miracleman's final solution to the Johnny Bates problem... And now the first shot of Mary in Cradlegrave.

I haven't read anything so unsettling in a very long time! I have to agree with Dog Deever about it being one of the all-time 2000AD classics - I really want to see more of this sort of thing!

Isn't that a typo - "DAMDED"...?

Oops... Mea culpa! I should have paid more attention when I was colouring the letters. It shall be fixed!

I haven't got a clue on how to colour with photoshop and wouldn't know where to start. If anyone would like to colour it, that would be great.

Heck, I'll colour it for you, daBhuna! Get in touch via the linky things!

Oh man, I want that annual! Wish I could just skip over to that alternate universe and pick up a copy... Very nice work, Leigh!

Hi CraveNoir,
Don't worry - some of us are bound to come up with similar ideas. The main thing is that we're all having fun. The other main thing is that I win... Surely it's my turn by now?

Looking forward to seeing your pic - this really has been the most enjoyable art comp so far!

Managed to find a little extra time to give this one a bit of a tweak...

You are welcome to use it is you want (I can even delete my post and it'll be like that was the plan all along ). I can't believe that the idea wasn't lurking in your subconscious while doing this even if some random event disrupted the thoughtblip right at the last moment.

Ahem! I direct you to prog 1566, and a certain Time Twister with that very title!
