The way he howled when the fat kid kicked him in the goddamn nuts would suggest so.

Fave bit: Sledge defusing a bomb as a crowd cheers him on, while his Captain's cheering on the bomb.

Apparently, there's a few where his widow got the last word on what was written. I'd try looking for one where she didn't.

Ah, but you see it wasn't an April fool, my medication ran out.

But this was...

You were right, Watcher. PVS was the first to try the April Fool's gag. I owe you a tenner.

Heh! Apologies to one and all.

That makes three car thieves on this thread so far :)

Hiya, Zig. Welcome to the board :)

Ahh, this is old news I'm afraid. We're still waiting for the Bolland fatty story. Still, here's hopin'.http://www.2000adonline.com/covers/usreprints/hires/edredd33.jpg">

Anyhoo, it'd be nice to see his takes on other characters for any possible future covers, as Dredd's maybe a bit too obvious. Always loved this old cover for the depth it gave to some fairly inconsequential supporting characters.http://www.2000adonline.com/covers/2000ad/mediumres/248.jpg">

How does that work, then? Do folks trip over it, hilarity? ensues?

I really enjoyed the FS. Hats off to Woolley and Gurr for a fun read. (Shame about the speech balloons getting tipped to the fore again).

It seems to me that a lot of people (me included) have been fooled into thinking the last series of the VCs was good, because of the stonkingly good artwork.

Nah, Flint & Blythe's art was great, but the script was darn spiffy too. May be reading too much into things, but I really admired the refreshing attitude of having all the blah blah military techno babble (which overwhelmed 90's Rogue Trooper) abruptly cut short by "men are dying out there" style gung-ho heroics. War's hell, dammit, not a manual.

Of the current run, Look On The Bright Side worked for me best. I much prefer the bits involving soldiering through the Solar system's extreme environments, more than any of the Polity nonsense. Bright Side was good enough to have been a lost episode from the original VC's. That, in fairness, may sound like living in the past, but IMHO the latest character building episodes (in art and story) just aren't measuring up to the original or even the comeback.

Ideal world - Abnett getting more gung-ho, Kennedy & Blythe doing the art.

Corking interview. Richard Elson should be allowed to do a strip to do with no humans in it at all. More beasties!

Durham Red? That's a girls name, man!

Yeah, it was a war film IIRC with Mark Hamill and Lee Marvin in it. I was thinking of the baddie from Harry Twenty On The High Rock. Y'know, the big butch and hairy inmate... err, now I think, maybe Durham's better :)
