"[Hopefully: cue Logan with the relevant scan.]"

Will this suffice?

That Lawgiver is so much cooler than the new one.

I'm sure there's been a multitude of, "don't you know who I am", type utterances from Dredd throughout the strips history, I really don't see a flaw in Rennie's interpretation of the character.

True, though its rare for Dredd to say "Do it because I'm hard" - It's usually "Do it because I am the Law"

The closest to it is the City of the Damned one, and even there he's not claiming he can wipe them all out, just trying to make a fairly valid point in a desperate situation.

Hes not secretly bragging to someone in control about how the odds are even when he's facing 1000 opponents

The City of the Damned one is great, because they are Judges, and he was arguably the judge that was the figurehead for everything they once stood for. They still feel some of that, they know how low they've sunk, and hearing Dredd's words, they back down. Great.

Cor - I'd love to see some Steve Dillon on Dredd again. That's lovely that is.

The colours on the City of the Damned page are amazing as are the works of the late/great Tom Frame.

Is that one of the pages that was lost and refound later? That was a cracking feature seeing both side by side and spotting the difference.

Buttonman · 24 August, 2006, 06:28:56 AM

Sorry, change 'refound ' to 'found'. Unless they were misplaced and found more than once.

"The colours on the City of the Damned page are amazing as are the works of the late/great Tom Frame."

At that time, Tom Frame was colouring the centrespread and cover, so unless I'm much mistaken, that City of the Damned colour spread would be Tom's work. Or was that what you were trying to say in the first place?

Buttonman · 24 August, 2006, 08:05:07 AM

No, I didn't know Tom did colouring. Another string to his angel's harp!

Funt Solo · 24 August, 2006, 02:18:42 PM

I had no idea, either, that Tom Frame also did colouring work for 2000AD.

IIRC, that centrespread is the orginal published one. I still really miss the centrespread as a weekly feature of the comic (although I understand, sort of, why it's not used regularly).

Rex Banner · 24 August, 2006, 02:34:27 PM

That is the originally published one. I cropped the first few panels & the title off. Until I looked at this again I forgot how good it looks in colour, so used to the Titan reprint.
