Fear The Badge

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Does anyone know anything about this fanzine that was supposed to launch many moons ago. I mentioned this up Hi-Ex! and so have searched through the 'Cellar of Dredd' to find the rough proofs that I was sent.

It was the brainchild of Paul Dick who lived in Kirkcaldy at the time of sending me the bits I have. It was to be a charity fanzine that would launch in 1997. It's core stories would revolve around the worlds of Dredd, Strontium Dogs and Robo Hunter.

It was to contain the following strips:-

DOGTAGS Hundreds of stronts lost their lives during the New Church Final Solution but they live on in my memories.... by TH Dix & Paul Dick
REVENANT You can't keep a good Judge down by Dean Ormston, Paul Dick & James Boswell
TROUBLED WATERS Welcome to Coastal Patrol. It ain't Baywatch creeps! by Scott Newell & Paul Dick
RAMBRO: FIRST BRUD He's one baaad black sheep by TH Dix, Paul Dick & Stuart Mack

There are many more strips but it would be pointless just doing one massive list.

So does anyone have any more info on what happened to this?
I did a search on the web and found this one mention, look at the words under Dredd's badge. http://www.melted.com/korner/2000AD.html

I do, and probably have one of the very few copies that were ever produced.

If you want to know more message me.

I would also like to know what happened to "Fear the Badge", i had done some drawings and strips for it but i never saw the resulting mag, but i did get a t shirt with a logo i designed on it which i still have some where.

I presume you are the James associated with the REVENANT story!

[Pete Wells]

Any chance of getting this scanned and putting it online?

My stuff is just photocopied preview stuff and no actual stories, so if I copied it onto here it wouldn't really help that much.
We need Stewart, if only he'd stop riding about on his bike

What thread did I miss where Logan changed his name and why change?

[COMMANDO FORCES]

He's on the run

No that's not me, i did strips called mopad nomad scripted by Paul lister, St. Judge and the Dragon by George Cordeiro, The Maintenance Man by Paul Dick (page 1 : http://homepage.eircom.net/~meanwhile2/pages/06mm01.html ) and a load of fill in bits.( eg: http://meanwhiletv.blogspot.com/2010/07/middenface-mcnulty-penciling-page2tif.html )

Its funny you mentioned it was launched in 1997, but i did these in 1994!

It didn't.
The failure of Fear The Badge was one of the catalyst for Class Of 79

thanks for the reply Logan, class of 79 was a quality fanzine, the printing was lovely, was their talk a while back to bring it back?
