Judge Dredd Tour of Duty: Backlash and Mega City Justice By Wagner, MacNeil, Walker, Critchlow, Higgins, Ezquerra et al Published Rebellion Approaching a Judge Dredd graphic novel is not as easy as it seems; Dredd is for me personally an iconic character going back to my childhood, so when you read the story that is [...]

Jon Haward has been sketching Judge Dredd and the Batman, and rather nicely he’s posted up not only the finished drawing but also the steps in-between to show how he works, from the rough pencil sketch above, to the finished version before, with the various stages visible on Jon’s blog. I always enjoy seeing a [...]

Someone Old, Someone new

Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Somehow I’ve missed seeing this blog before – Someone Old, Someone New. The basic theme to it is to ask an artist to take a classic older (normally out of print) British comics character and put them in a panel with a contemporary Brit comics character, so there’s a nice, warm whiff of nostalgia mixed [...]

“The Law Is A Joke”…

Monday, August 15, 2011

Comments Off

“The Law is a Joke!”; Cliff Robinson commission – a “What If…The Joker became Chief Judge of Mega City One?” Hmmm…. the law is a joke…. bankers vs dodgy MPs vs stupid kids looting – bonuses, excuses and jail sentences for nicking a bottle of water. Seems rather apt. (Via 2000AD Online, but somewhere along [...]

Pretty things from the Internet what I have found or had thrust under my online nose this week…… More incredible Alex Toth artwork…. just a masterclass of intelligent, visual design and perfection in storytelling. From Red Circle Sorcery #9 (1974). The full strip is over at Alison Sampson’s Space In Text. Jill Thompson does Archie. [...]

Judge Spleenal?

I think Nigel Auchterlouinie is onto something here with his bloody funny Judge Smudge. 2000AD, are you watching – don’t sue, don’t issue take-down notices – commission this! And if you think this is good – you really need to buy yourself Spleenal for Chritmas.

As we blogged last week the brilliant Brendan McCarthy has returned to 2000 AD, collaborating with Al Ewing on Doctor What in Judge Dredd. This week’s issue, Prog 1713, boasts this fab cover by the equally fine D’Israeli, done after the style of McCarthy. D’Israeli channelling McCarthy, with more McCarthy/Ewing goodness inside? Oh drokk, yeah, [...]

He is the law! Karul Urban in his Dredd uniform

Friday, November 19, 2010

1 Comment

The 2000 AD forums has the first sneak-peak look of Karl Urban in his Judge Dredd uniform for the forthcoming movie (which we’re all hoping will excise the memory of the awful Stallone take on Dredd). The helmet looks spot on to me (although I concur with some of the commentors on the forum that [...]
