If we marched the streets of london against Mr dictator, he would laugh, & bask in the indignancy of his enemies peoples, it would achieve feck all. If we march in protest at our own governments complicity in Mr Dictatorz regime, why then they squirm uncomfortably & possibly listen.


heh... and then when our leaders do something about the dictators, we go marching against their actions!

Hear hear GC!

The fact that the USA sells itself as 'Land of the Free' means it's asking for criticism when it fails to deliver.
For the supposedly most forward/progress civilisation on the planet, they sure don't act like it. For a country that prides 'Democracy' above almost all other things, it sure does have a bizarre political system.

Hasn't Fidel taken to not speaking in English under any cirsumstances?
And when the Manic Street Preachers went there to visit him, they joined in by only speaking to him in Welsh.

I never got to write Hershey again because I got incredibly drunk at a Glasgow Convention, insulted Alan Grant (and a few others people)by telling him what I thought of him.

Classic!

I'd love to see the Clown return though, you should get back in touch with Tharg.

Depends on who gets the scrip job!

When the Megazine had a run on Hershey stories (before she became CJ) it was pretty much any old monkey scripting it...

Dave Stone's "Downtime" - throwaway 1 episoder.

Robbie M's "The Not-So-Merry Wives Of Windsor" - amusing throwaway 1 episoder.

Peter Cornwall's "Deathsquads" - pretty good thriller

Robbie M's "Asylum" - throwaway action piece

Igor Goldkind's "A Game of Dolls" - very creepy thriller

Igor Goldkind's "Harlequin's Dance" - pretty good mystery/thriller

The five by Paul Neal and/or Marc Wigmore: dire sh*te, killed the series.



Wouldn't complain if Igor Goldkind came back to do it, but to be honest, the stories he did would have worked with Hershey replaced by any Judge really, I don't think they'd work with Hershey as CJ now, certainly.
Best if Wagner/Grant did it. Or Rennie. Or Robbie Morrison *if* he actually had something for the character to do.

Which is the one where they hijack a plane to save the Faulklands?

I couldn't tell from reading it... and the debate here hasn't cleared matters up any.

I do feel kinda cheated that a character dies in a graphic 'on-screen' style, but we don't know who it is.  Even if it isn't Giant, it would be good to know if it was Judge Blankbadge or Judge Blankbadge.
If it's *meant* to be ambiguous, from a plot p-o-v - then we shouldn't have a close up of the head! The fact that we can't recognise it is beside the point.
If it's meant to be obvious, then it's just not, and has failed to tell the story properly.


Please Gordon, if you're reading this thread....
Are we supposed to know who the head belongs to? And if so...who?

If we're supposed to not know until next week, I'll happily wait... but I don't think the artist has told this week's installment.

[Cover:]

Cover: - blimey that's good. Best cover of the year, or summat.

Judge Dredd: - really liking the story, it's getting pretty intense. However, after weeks of quite liking the artwork, I've suddenly fallen on the side of quite hating it - mainly because I couldn't work out what was going on!
I thought the two spare judges with Giant & Guthrie were Dredd & Rico for a while, and I really can't work out whose head that was flying off - I thought it was Giant's - but I really hope it wasn't, if Giant's gonna die then I'd really like it to happen in a recognisable way!

Bah!

Sinister Dexter: - nothing happened this week, we 'discovered' they're clones, like we hadn't figured that out already, and we end up with the same cliff hanger as last week. Enjoyable enough though, as filler goes! Hopefully the plot will return next week.

Shakara: - great stuff, top art, top violence!

Atavar III: - going well, so is lady Atavar an earlier attempt at recreating humans, and she sided with the Uos, so they tried again with 'our' Atavar?  Looks likely.

Caballistics, Inc: - fantastic, brilliant artwork, gripping story.  Is that the imprisoned magician at the end? 'spect so.

All round great prog, let down by Dredd's artwork.

Or that his powers don't use him for evil!

Dark Jimbo - it was the inside back cover of prog 1400.

I've scanned it, here it is...

(in three different sizes, Wake - do you want to nab these scans for the prog profile page?)

Ta raa Tips,

We'll miss you, you're usually the only person with a sensible opinion on things.

The rest of y'all are steaming nut-jobs.

But this bit's good - G8 nations agreed to full debt cancellation for 18 countries.

Londoners - safe?

"A Scotland Yard spokesperson told CNN that Warren Street, Shepherds Bush and Oval stations had all been evacuated."

At 12 O'clock noon this Thursday there's going to be a two minute silence to remember the victims of the bombs which exploded a week earlier.  Buses will stop and businesses will stop.  As a gesture of compassion, sympathy and remembrance, but also defiance we should all observe the two minute silence.
