No Title

[Captain Harry Flashman]

A happy post-Halloween to you all! Don't know if this has been done before in 2000AD, but what do people think of having a one-off special issue where the Creators & Writers swap stories and characters? I think it might work if only in terms of bringing a different perspective to the characters and artwork. My suggested prog would have the following as an example: Judge Dredd & Anderson by Ian Edginton (Script)and Simon Davis (Art); Strontium Dog by Si Spurrier and Carl Critchlow; ABC Warriors  by Cam Kennedy (Script & Art); Slaine by Dan Abnett & Henry Flint; Sinister Dexter by Robbie Morrison & Clint Langley; Nikolai Dante by Pat Mills & Paul Marshall; Stickleback by Alan Grant & Steve Yeowell and last, but certainly not least - Lobster Random by John Wagner & Carlos Ezquerra.

I know there might be issues with regard to Creator owned characters, but obviously the artists and writers concerned would have final approval over each story and  I'm sure that Old Green Bonce could smooth out any snags that might arise? Anyone else who thinks this might be a runner? And if so what would your line-up of stories/artists/writers be?

Cheers from Captain Harry Flashman

It's been done before, way back in the Armoured Gideon days. Led to a Ridgeway Stronty, I believe.

I'd be interested to see what John Smith would do with Stronty. He's written decent Dredd and Rogue Troopers, geting the characters right and putting them in Smithy style weird situations. Lets see Johnny and Wulf step into the Spot-Shatterlight.

Can anyone see Pat Mills giving the reigns to any of his creations.

it's a terrific idea for a special - it'd be fascinating to see what Mills would do with some of the other creators characters
